1 INTRODUCTION These Engineering Services Guidelines are a performance based guide for the development of design and specification documentation for health care facilities. Through the process of developing Deliverables as outlined in Section 4 the Capital Consultants are tasked with developing appropriate project specific solutions and detailed designs and documentation to enable the procurement and delivery of projects. A key objective for delivery of healthcare facility projects is the provision of facilities that provide for;



Achievement of optimal patient care utilising a model of care for the patient;



Contemporary approaches to design;



Practical and easy usage.



Fitness for purpose; and,



Value for money;

It is expected that all projects will be delivered in accordance with the requirements of all relevant codes and regulations, and all Capital Consultants should be aware of these obligations. The emphasis is also on encouraging innovation above prescriptive requirements where benefits can be proven. Any engineered deviations from relevant Statutory requirements and other Standards due to unique project circumstances need to be thoroughly and holistically assessed, proved, clearly articulated/ documented and signed off through by the relevant Authority. Additionally, it is expected all Capital Consultants will assess the provisions of Standards such as the Australian Health Facility Guidelines (AusHFGs) and determine an appropriate application of these to their particular project. In new, major hospital developments (generally role delineations level 4 and above) it is envisaged the requirements of AusHFG will be closely adhered to, except where deviations are associated with new models of care, operational policies or procedures or innovative approaches to the delivery of health services. However on smaller projects, those of lesser acuity, and projects where substantial refurbishment is envisaged, it is expected the Capital Consultants will critically evaluate the AusHFG to determine...
