Hospital Inpatient Facilities Checklists

Compliance checklists for use with projects in hospital inpatient facilities

The following Compliance Checklists for DPH Plan Review are based on the 2022 Edition of the FGI Guidelines for Design and Construction of Hospitals.

These checklists must be included in plan review submission documents for projects to be received for first review by the Division of Health Care Facility Licensure and Certification on or after June 1, 2025. They should also be used to the extent possible for projects to be submitted before that date.
