Before FGI, individual states had their own healthcare building codes.
They have realized that they can’t keep up at the same pace that FGI can.
MORE COMPREHENSIVE
MORE FOCUSED
MORE SPECIALIZED
Why FGI?

SUMMARY OF MAJOR CHANGES BETWEEN 2018 + NC
FUNCTIONAL PROGRAM Removed requirement for space program and sf from functional program and created a new section; space program
ACOUSTIC DESIGNRequirements for vibration control and isolation including exterior sources (rail, road) for site selection
SUSTAINABILITYMostly appendix. Mercury-free products, waste mgmtto divert from landfills and utility usage monitoring
“PATIENTS OF SIZE” REPLACES “BARIATRIC”Forecast volumes early and accommodate accordingly (lifts, etc)
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS New appendix commentary to prepare for catastrophic events

SUMMARY OF MAJOR CHANGES BETWEEN 2018 + NC
AIRBORNE INFECTION ISOLATION ROOM Doors permitted to have self-closer or audible alarm when room is in use
SAFE ROOM Not required but provides design accommodations (lockable storage, private toilet & shower, family consult room, law enforcement)
EXPANDED TELEMEDICINEmostly appendix commentary; flexible and not restrictive
PRE + POST PROCEDUREPACU and Stage II can be combined; allows facilities to better accommodate delivery of care.
STERILE PROCESSINGTwo room sterile is now required with little exception. One-way flow
CRITICAL CARE UNITSAll new critical care units to be private patient rooms
