Renovating an Ambulatory Surgical Center

In your current role as a healthcare manager, you have been asked to participate in the renovation of an ambulatory surgical center in Mesa, Arizona. The facility was previously used as an office space. http://www.mesaaz.gov/business/development-service…

When considering renovating an existing structure, there are many things to consider. Review some of the items that need to be compliant prior to the purchase. The office space meets all utility requirements, including 24-hour backup power and appropriately sized medical gas supply. The area that will be designated as a patient pick-up has an existing canopy. You will use the City of Mesa Planning Department website as a reference to complete this assignment.

Write a 750- to 1,050-word APA formatted paper in response to the following:

• The office space is currently zoned as a business occupancy. Identify if this building is the appropriately zoned building type for ASC in Mesa, Arizona.
• Explain how you know the building is zoned appropriately.

The office space meets all parking requirements found on the Mesa Zoning Ordinance. In some cases, office spaces or other facilities that are being converted may not have the required parking spaces.

• Describe at least two alternatives you would suggest to correct parking issues if your office space was not compliant.

The office space sits off the main road behind some other buildings.

• As you think about your patient population, what are two pros and two cons of having a building that is not as visible from the main road?

As you begin work on this multi-week project, it will be important to develop a plan to keep you on track. Among other tasks, you will complete in this project, remember to research the layout of your floor plan, the proximity of space within your building, and flow for your different users (providers, patients, support staff, visitors, and family).
