Healthcare facilities are comprised of complex building systems and patient care systems where the modification of one component can affect the overall cohesiveness of the building system and can result in situations which can endanger patients. Addressing issues under these conditions requires a comprehensive understanding of these systems and their relationships with each other. Furthermore, due to the fact that healthcare facility occupants can include immunocompromised individuals, individuals with infectious diseases and other high risk groups, any work or testing becomes more critical.
