12VAC5-230-770: Facilities expansion

Applications for the expansion of medical care facilities should document that the current space provided in the facility for the areas or departments proposed for expansion is inadequate. Such documentation should include:

1. An analysis of the historical volume of work activity or other activity performed in the area or department;

2. The projected volume of work activity or other activity to be performed in the area or department; and

3. Evidence that contemporary design guidelines for space in the relevant areas or departments, based on levels of work activity or other activity, are consistent with the proposal.
