Commission approves FGI waivers for two Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital pediatric clinics
Summary
Hardin Valley and Seymour Pediatrics clinics under Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital received waivers of several FGI guideline requirements (exam room sinks and minimum square footage, and clearance dimensions); the Commission approved both requests unanimously.
Hardin Valley Pediatrics Clinic requested waivers of Facility Guidelines Institute (FGI) requirements including the 80‑square‑foot minimum exam room size (six exam rooms measured 70–73 sq ft) and sink-in-each-exam-room requirements; Terry Hall, CHFM, Director of Engineering for Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital, represented the request. Dr. Andy Russell moved to approve the waiver as presented and Ms. Katie Evans seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
Seymour Pediatrics, also under Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital, sought similar waivers for 12 exam rooms with clear floor areas of 65–75 sq ft and reduced clearance at the sides and foot of tables; the Commission approved the requested waivers unanimously. Representatives noted the existing layout had operated without reported patient safety incidents.
