FGI Healthcare Design Guidelines AI
AI analysis of Facility Guidelines Institute healthcare design requirements.
Definition
FGI Healthcare Design Guidelines AI ensures healthcare facility designs meet Facility Guidelines Institute requirements. It verifies room sizes, ventilation rates, clearances, and other specialized healthcare design requirements for hospitals, outpatient facilities, and residential healthcare.
In Depth
FGI (Facility Guidelines Institute) guidelines are the design standards for healthcare facilities in the United States, adopted by reference in most state building codes and required by CMS for Medicare-certified facilities. AI FGI compliance checking verifies that healthcare designs meet the extensive room-by-room requirements for size, configuration, adjacency, and environmental conditions.
The room requirement tables in FGI specify minimum clear floor areas, minimum dimensions, required adjacencies (scrub sinks adjacent to operating rooms, clean utility rooms near patient care areas), and environmental criteria (air change rates, temperature ranges, pressure relationships) for every room type in a healthcare facility. AI checks each room in the design against the applicable FGI requirements for its designated function.
