Lesson Learned/Best Practice

AHCA requirements for Imaging equipment varies with each “team”. Typically, the specific details required by AHCA are not included in the site specific vendor drawings resulting in added scope and rework during the inspection process.

Suggested Actions for Future Projects

Medical Equipment vendors should incorporate known AHCA requirements for each specific team in the vendor documents for the project.

MRI closets require adequate ventilation between the penetration panel and the MRI space. Louvers were cut into the door after installation to meet this requirement.

Suggested Actions for Future Projects

Design documents should include louvers at MRI closet doors.

Facility name: UCF Lake Nona Medical Center

Lesson Learned/Best Practice

POU cabinets are typically shown at doorways to clean supply rooms. When these are installed, they often conflict with the door swing pathway when the POU cabinet is open.

Suggested Actions for Future Projects

POU cabinet locations should be reviewed by design team and contractor to confirm these locations do not conflict with the door swing.

Lesson Learned number: 8
Impact: Scope

Lesson Learned/Best Practice

Planning books should thoroughly describe the type of space that is included in the scope of the project i.e. Is the Major OR either Ortho or Neuro not just a Major OR. Is the ICU regular ICU or Neuro ICU etc. The equipment needed to support each of these spaces is quite different and has a big impact from a budgeting standpoint.

Suggested Actions for Future Projects

The planning books should be as detailed as possible when describing the type of space included in the scope of the project. This will save time on the ME Managers part and eliminate the need to seek clarification from planning.

Lesson Learned/Best Practice

Any project that includes a renovation component, the AVP of MEM will review scope of the project with ME Manager to determine if an onsite visit to review proejct details and assess existing medical equipment would be beneficial.

Suggested Actions for Future Projects

When planning books are issued ME Manager would visit with AVP to discuss project scope and whether an onsite visit and assessment of existing equipment should be done prior to submitting a budget.
