As a seasoned administrator, you already know about HIPAA, human resources, and medical malpractice liability. You will also need to be familiar with the legal and regulatory requirements in health care facility design that may affect the ambulatory surgical center design planning process.
Research legal and regulatory requirements that will impact the design of an ambulatory surgical center. Assume you are planning to build this facility within 50 miles of where you live. When specifying the location of this warehouse, narrow down the location site to at least state and municipality.
Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word report about your facility. In your report:
- Identify the location of your ambulatory surgical center.
- Provide an overview of the following requirements, and include a brief description of how each will impact your facility design:
- Federal requirements (e.g., ADA, OSHA, CMS)
- State zoning codes for your chosen location, as applicable
- State certificate of need (CON) requirements, as applicable
- Local zoning codes specific to your chosen location
- Facility credentialing opportunities (e.g., the Joint Commission)
- Identify 1 regulatory and 1 legal requirement that will directly and significantly affect facility design planning.
- Explain why you chose these 2 requirements and provide a brief overview of how the requirements affect your facility design planning.
- Evaluate their accountability and liability ramifications for affected stakeholders.
- Evaluate the relationship between legal and ethical considerations.
Cite at least 5 scholarly sources to support your report.
Format your citations and references according to APA guidelines.
