The construction standards in this chapter apply to all new hospital facilities and to any alteration, addition, and change in space use to currently approved existing hospital facilities. In a hospital with a capacity of 50 beds or less, some functions allotted separate spaces or rooms in these standards may be combined if the resulting plan does not compromise safety or medical practice.
