Clinics
Functional Grouping
Figure I-4
The location of Clinical Facilities should be equidistant from all Nursing Units in the
SCIC. The Outpatient/GU, Home Care and Pharmacy spaces should be adjacent to the
dedicated SCIC entrance.
Each SCIC will have an Outpatient/GU Clinic. The movement of Outpatients will for the
most part be limited to the Clinical areas shown above. Staff, on the other hand, will
need direct access from the Nursing Units to the GU/Cysto area during emergencies.
Pharmacy Service is responsible for dispensing all drugs and many supplies required by
both inpatients and outpatients. While some dedicated Pharmacy facility will be
provided for each SCIC the actual program will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Dedicated Rehabilitation space will be a part of each SCIC and will be sized according
to the number of inpatients. Each SCIC will be served by a therapeutic pool. Existing
pool facilities should be evaluated as to their ability to meet the needs of the SCI
patient.
