An Insider’s Look at the 2022 FGI Guidelines

Description

The FGI Guidelines for Design and Construction documents are developed by professionals with a dedication to health and residential care and have spent thousands of hours preparing the 2022 series of Guidelines for publication. Join us as members of the 2022 Health Guidelines Revision Committee highlight changes in the 2022 FGI Guidelines, including new and revised behavioral and mental health spaces, clinical treatment areas and patient care units. Updates revisit familiar topics (e.g., ED treatment areas) and reflect new perspectives (e.g., emPATH units), all while balancing the need to make design affordable, accessible and maintainable.

Learning Objectives:

• Explain how changes in the 2022 Guidelines will impact the design of clinical spaces in health and residential care facilities.
• Describe the major proposed changes to the 2022 FGI Guidelines.
• Identify the new clinical and patient care spaces that will be included in the 2022 Guidelines documents.
• State how using the 2022 Guidelines for a project can provide a safe and effective patient care environment at a reasonable cost.
