First Draft 8-14-96
Revised June 97
Foreword
The material contained in the Outpatient
Pharmacy Design Primer 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 Primer 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 design guides,
technical manuals and other VA criteria in
planning an Outpatient Pharmacy. The Design
Primer is not to be used as a standard design
and use of the Design Primer 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.
