From the meeting
The Office of Statewide Hospital Planning and Development (OSHPD) said the owner or responsible legal entity must provide a functional program for proposed health care facility design and construction projects. The rule applies to new construction, additions, and modifications that affect patient care. Projects limited to equipment replacement, fire safety upgrades, or non-use-changing renovations generally do not need a functional program, except for imaging, dietary, and pharmacy sterile compounding.
This is a compliance signal for architects, engineers, and healthcare builders working on covered facility projects.
