Lindy

Are you able to locate the most recent edition of the US “Guidelines FOR
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF

Health Care Facilities: The Facility Guidelines Institute”.

Depending on the extent of your build/ reno this may be a very wise
investment although not inexpensive. It certainly was for the team at
Gold Coast Hospital. Also my understanding from years of dealing with US
ICPs is that this document in each updated version is their absolute
“go-to” document for reno and construction. It goes well beyond the
scope and general detail of CDC Guideline.

Good luck

Dear Colleagues

Just wondering if anyone can guide me toward any useful information
regarding infection control recommendations/ advice for inpatient
haematology / cancer ward locations/ layout/ flows (also includes
transplant pts.).

I can only locate the CDC information around outpatient oncology
settings which isn’t really helpful in regard to physical location,
layout and flows and I was unable to find any helpful information on the
Australasian health care facility guidelines for this highest risk area
either.

Any ideas or links really appreciated

Thanks you in advance

Regards

Lindy
