Healthcare facility planning demands precision, regulatory compliance, and collaboration across multiple teams. Integrating the Facility Guidelines Institute (FGI) standards into your planning process ensures that your design adheres to the best practices for healthcare environments. However, managing these guidelines can be challenging. That’s where dRofus comes in.
dRofus is a leading space planning and building requirements management software tailored for the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. By offering FGI guidelines in a centralized, easy-to-use platform, dRofus simplifies planning, enhances collaboration, and ensures compliance.
Here are the top five reasons healthcare facility planners benefit from using dRofus with FGI guidelines.
1.) Save Time with Integrated FGI Guidelines
One of the most time-consuming aspects of healthcare facility planning is managing and applying the vast array of FGI guidelines. dRofus streamlines this by incorporating all relevant FGI guidelines directly into the platform. Whether it’s room sizes, airflow requirements, or patient privacy standards, dRofus outlines all FGI guidelines for easy reference.
With dRofus, you only need to input your project information, and the software ensures that everything aligns with FGI standards. It also allows you to replicate projects using room templates, making it easier to manage similar facility projects while saving an immense amount of time.
2.) Ensure Compliance in a Centralized Location
Managing FGI guidelines across various documents and platforms can lead to confusion, misinterpretation, and delays. dRofus centralizes all FGI guidelines in one place, eliminating the risk of siloed or conflicting information.
This centralized approach ensures that every aspect of your project is compliant with industry standards from the start. By having FGI standards within dRofus, planners can avoid the headaches of tracking down regulations and focus on designing spaces that are safe, efficient, and compliant.
3.) Easy Hand-Off to Stakeholders
Collaborating with architects, engineers, and builders is a critical part of the healthcare facility planning process. However, miscommunication between these stakeholders can lead to costly errors and delays. dRofus enhances collaboration by serving as a single source of truth for FGI guidelines.
By providing all stakeholders access to the same FGI-compliant data, dRofus ensures that everyone is on the same page. This helps align the entire project team and eliminates the risk of miscommunication that can derail a project.
4.) Easily Manage and Update Standards
FGI guidelines evolve, and your facility’s needs may also change over time. dRofus gives healthcare planners the flexibility to easily manage and update FGI standards within their projects. You can customize the standards to suit specific needs while still maintaining compliance.
This adaptability allows facility planners to keep projects current, even as regulations or project specifications change. The ability to quickly adjust standards ensures that your facility remains compliant throughout every phase of the project.
5.) Reduce Data Inaccuracies
In complex healthcare projects, data discrepancies can lead to significant rework and increased costs. dRofus mitigates this risk by serving as the single source of truth for all FGI guideline data. When all team members access the same data set, the risk of miscommunication or discrepancies is minimized.
With accurate data, healthcare planners can reduce the likelihood of errors, shorten project timelines, and save money by eliminating the need for rework. dRofus provides the confidence that your project is based on accurate and compliant data from start to finish.
