New and veteran healthcare facility employees will gain helpful information from ISHE's "Fundamentals of Health Care Renovation and Construction" education program April 19th at Purdue University. RSVP Now
Whether it is a new greenfield hospital project or renovation of an existing building, a construction project involving a health facility requires careful planning and diligent execution. This one-day seminar focuses on several fundamental topics critical to a successful project including:
- Safety and comfort of patients that might be impacted by the project.
- Compliance with codes and standards, including NFPA 101, NFPA 99 and the Guidelines for the Design and Construction of Health Care Facilities. Some of the requirements that are new or that have changed in the 2012 edition of NFA 101 and NFPA 99 will be discussed.
- Environmental infection prevention assessment and mitigation measures.
- Mechanical and electrical systems including medical gas, HVAC and the Essential Electrical System.

Elkhart General Hospital Renovations and Addition Planned
Elkhart General Hospital is embarking on a $74 million dollar building project which includes the replacement of existing surgical and endoscopy suites, the addition of hybrid surgery capability and 44 private patient rooms for post-surgery care. This 150,000 square-foot expansion will provide space for 10 state-of-the-art operating rooms to accommodate both inpatient and outpatient surgeries. Each surgical suite will be approximately 700 sq. ft. in size and equipped with ceiling suspended technology offering the surgeons maximum flexibility for future growth and technology. "As we carefully plan the design, the team has been considering all aspects of growth and technology, while paying close attention to the comfort and privacy needs of our patients and their families," said Leonard Kibiloski, MD, FACS, orthopedic surgeon. The existing surgery suites were built over 40 years ago and the structural limitations of the space made the option of renovation unrealistic to physically accommodate newer technology. Construction is slated to begin the third quarter of 2013 and projected to be completed by the end of 2015.
