Introduction
The intent of the relationship and flow diagrams is to show interrelationships of functions and spaces within the surgical suite, and
the movement of staff, patients and materials. They are also intended to assist medical professionals and designers in understanding
the function of a VA surgical suite. These diagrams represent the preference of the program officials in VA Central Office; however,
they are not intended to limit the input of the surgical staff at the VAMC. Their basic intent is to enhance communication between
all parties involved.
