Environmental Impact

Environmental Impact Outline document on the student website
Develop an outline for hazardous waste management, fire and safety management, disaster management, security management, or ADA guidelines for a renovation or new planning of a health care facility. Each team is assigned a different area so there is no duplication. The outline will then be used for a final presentation in Week Five.
Include the following information in your outline:
· Write an overview of your assigned environmental impact issue.

· Examine local, state, and federal legal and regulatory requirements. Consider the following agencies:

o Occupational Safety and Health Administration
o Joint Commission of the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations
o Your state’s health planning and development agency
o Department of Health and Human Services
o Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments and other agencies as applicable to facility planning

· Is there a Certificate of Need (CON) program for your state? If so, explain the program. If there is not a CON for your state, was there one in the past and when was it eliminated?

· What are issues to consider when meeting the International Building Code for a facility?

· What measurements may be done in advance of the new plan or renovation?

· List the stakeholders that may play a role in your development

Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word outline with your findings.
Format your outline consistent with APA guidelines.
