Description
As the vibration criteria for hospital floors become more stringent, costs quickly escalate. Learn how engineers, architects, contractors, and owners are working together to develop cost-effective methods to address floor vibration and its impact on patient care and equipment efficacy. This session will enable you to-
• Explain the impact that floor vibration has on equipment and patient outcomes based on data provided so these factors can be taken into account in the design of patient care units.
• Develop strategies, based on the data provided, for implementing the floor vibration criteria included in the 2010 Guidelines for Design and Construction of Health Care Facilities to reduce the negative impact of floor vibrations in a health care facility.
• Discuss strategies, as presented, for gaining support from senior staff for addressing floor vibration in critical areas.
• Create multidisciplinary project teams, as demonstrated in the examples, that can collaborate to address the impact of floor vibration on patient care and equipment efficacy.

LEARNER OUTCOMES:
- Identify construction cost assoicated with limiting floor vibration
- Identify vibration criteria contained in the 2010 Edition of the Guidelines for the Design and Construction of Health Care Facilities
- State what are the different types of floor vibration and why is it critical to hospital patients and doctors.
- Strategies to control costs of limiting floor vibration
