Exam ine directives from … The Joint Com m ission, Facility Guidelines I nstitute, as w ell as Current Trends.
Make it easy for people to do the right thing…design for the Real W orld!
Valuable Resources or Boogeymen?
FGI TJC LEED HHI HCAPHS HHI CDC EPA
Trick question, its both …because, its com plicated They can be an alphabet soup of Acronyms, all with their own primary directives;
& confusing at the very least!
TJC aka The Joint Commission;
Behavioral Health Units receiving citations for furniture that is not anti-ligature, i.e. has a ligature point with an 18 inch drop! Challenge? Furniture is purported to be “Behavioral Health” appropriate but may not actually be anti-ligature!
W hich Furniture is Anti-ligature?
W ho decides? Bottom Line is, You do! ..or rather the entire clinical team does… . The Healthcare Interior Designer in collaboration with Clinical staff, & entire Risk Assessment team need to evaluate actual samples and make your own assessment! Clinical team, Facilities, Safety, Hospital-JC team all need to assess items for our locations!
Lesson: You can’t take anyone's w ord for it, you m ust evaluate the risk for yourself!
The Challenge? There is no CDC - EPA approved cleaning regimen for removing blood-borne pathogens from carpet!
FGI - CDC – EPA – in conflict?
FGI recommends carpet in a NICU, for the acoustic benefits… .
CDC recommends replacing it!! Really? Blood-borne pathogens in our NICU flooring? I don’t think so! The Challenge? There is no CDC - EPA approved cleaning regimen for removing blood-borne pathogens from carpet!
FGI - CDC - EPA
Our solution in NICU? Acoustic backed rubber flooring, & resilient sheet goods with recycled rubber backing. Charting Station alcoves, with Wall, Ceiling & Lighting treatments designed to reduce noise transmission.
Existing Rubber floor with acoustic background, had issues of adhesion loss, requiring patching & replacing, with persistent soiling. Mfr is an active partner to help solve problems. Our clinical partners are enthusiastic supporters of rubber flooring with acoustic backing. Currently exploring steam cleaning process.
Wood finish worn off by healthcare cleaning paradigm, exposing open pore wood, … … … imagine the bacteria on this wood armrest!
In November of 2016, the CDC ruled against using antimicrobials in patient rooms and patient care areas. … & yet… .. Manufacturers continue to invest time and resources into using antimicrobial finishes!

Durable Coated Fabrics – Use Non-PVC Polyurethane; & get rid of Vinyl. Resulting in…
Specified 2014 We were going for “sustainable”.
& another non-PVC Polyurethane
Major donor funding, with directive to use fabrics with special treatments to provide cleanable, durable, moisture-proof woven textile upholstery
It looked great for the photos, & on Day 1…
… but on Day 201…
After herculean efforts by our environmental services team to stay ahead of this problem we still had furniture pulled from service for permanent soiling, staining, puddling, found abandoned in BOH elevator lobbies, and basement corridors. The decision was made to reupholster all waiting and patient room furniture...

Designers, Facilities, EVC, Contractor, & Manufacturer were all active partners to solve the problem!

Encourage all interior designers to discuss this with their peers, clients, consultants… We don’t have all the answers yet, but can all partner to help find the solutions!

All with their own primary directives and often at cross purposes; confusing!

How design standards were successfully adapted on tight budget in preparation for a behavioral health facility Joint Commission visit…
Adventist Healthcare - Shady Grove Medical Center Behavioral Health
Hospital (WAH) Behavior Health
– Acute Inpatient Services (8 units) – Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) – Out Patient Wellness – Assisted Living – The Ridge School – Lourie Center – Head Start
Adventist Healthcare - Shady Grove Medical Center Behavioral Health
Hospital (WAH) Behavior Health
It’s not a hotel, it’s not “just” a hospital, it’s a Behavioral Health hospital.”
– JC visit was a few months out – Money was very tight – We knew that major renovations would have to
– Time vs. Money – On the surface, some decisions seemed risky

“The best value isn’t always the best price”
“Be population appropriate”
– Same in all facilities, add anti-ligature “rail” behind the handrail.
system – use InkGuard – BH black uniform pants ruined light color chairs.
