Construction Project Plan Review for Health Care Facilities: Construction Inspections

New online licensure and certification system for health and residential care providers

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) Division of Quality Assurance (DQA) launched the DHS DQA Provider Portal, a new online system for licensure/certification, background checks, plan reviews, and other provider applications for certain users. Visit our webpage for more information.

Compliance statement

Facilities must complete and submit a Compliance Statement to the Division of Quality Assurance (DQA) prior to a final inspection. Compliance statements are required before occupying:

  • A new building.
  • An addition.
  • Changes to an existing building.

Contact your DQA inspector with questions about final inspections.

Health care facility construction documentation checklist

The Health Care Facility Construction Documentation Checklist describes topics reviewed during an inspection.

Note: Meeting all requirements on these documents does not mean a facility meets inspection requirements. DQA has final inspection authority.
