5212.1
USER NEEDS
A large proportion of the new V.A. hospitals will be affiliated with university
medical schools throughout the country. Educational space requirements
may vary considerably according to the program of the individual hospital
and affiliated medical school; however, facilities within the following
categories will certainly be included:
1. facilities located on a unit and used basically by personnel assigned to
that unit;
2. facilities located in close proximity to two or more units and used
primarily by personnel from these units, and;
3. central facilities, not associated with specific patient care or diagnostic
units, for general use in educational programs.
The scope of this study is limited to nursing area potions of the
hospital; therefore, facilities in the first two of these categories are the
prime consideration.
