First Draft 3-15-97
Foreword
The material contained in the Ambulatory Care
Invasive Procedures Suite Guide is the
culmination of a partnering effort by the
Department of Veterans, the Department of
Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration,
and the Facilities Quality Office. The goal of the
Design Guide is to simplify the design process
and to ensure the quality of VA facilities while
controlling construction and operating costs.
This document is intended to be used as a guide
and to supplement current technical manuals
and other VA criteria in planning an Ambulatory
Care Invasive Procedures Suite. The Design
Guide is not to be used as a standard design
and use of the Design Guide does not preclude
the need for a functional and physical design
program for each specific project. It is the
project Architects and Engineers responsibility to
develop a complete and accurate project design
that best meets the users needs and applicable
code requirements.
