R432-4-21. Outpatient Unit Features

(1) If a building entrance is used to reach outpatient services, the entrance must be at grade level, clearly marked, and located to minimize the need for outpatients to traverse other program areas. The outpatient surgery discharge location must provide protection from the weather by canopies that extend from the building to permit sheltered transfer to an automobile.

(2) Lobbies of multi-occupancy buildings may be shared if the design prohibits unrelated traffic within or through units or suites of the licensed health care facility.
