FINAL DRAFT- 10/31/95
REVISED January 1997
Foreword
The material contained in the Ambulatory Care
Design Guide is the culmination of a partnering
effort by the Department of Veterans Affairs
Ambulatory Care Service, 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 hospital based
Ambulatory Care Clinics. 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.
