Outpatient Clinic
There are many types of structures and facilities when it comes to healthcare. For each type, there are a lot of details that matter. These include the staffing of the facility, the experience of those personnel and the details of the facility itself. The type of facility that will be focused on for this report is an outpatient clinic. The details of that type of facility that will be covered include a description of the facility, the populations that would use the facility, the key characteristics of the facility and why the author of this report has chosen such a facility.

The equipment, personnel and characteristics of the facility would vary based on what is being treated for, the supplies that are needed for the same and so forth.

Building Plan Outpatient clinic Facility planning There is a great shift in the real estate and this affects even the healthcare facilities.
