Construction/Remodeling Plan Review for Health Care Facilities: Health Care Built Environment Conference and Committee

The Health Care Built Environment conference brings together leaders in health care facility design, construction, and operations. The conference provides helpful information for:

• Health care facility owners and managers.
• Designers.
• Builders.
• Government officials.
• Division of Quality Assurance (DQA) life safety code surveyors.

We gather feedback from all stakeholders. We use this insight to plan the next conference.

The Health Care Built Environment Committee

The Health Care Built Environment Committee was established in 2016. The committee hosts discussions about health care facility construction. The goal is to highlight Wisconsin as a leader in environments focused on health, safety, and wellbeing.

The committee includes people from:

• Health care.
• Design.
• Construction.
• Government agencies.

The Health Care Built Environment Committee meets quarterly. They discuss rules, regulations, and building challenges.
