Introduction
This document, consisting of several volumes and their respective appendices, represents the
Health Authority of Abu Dhabis (hereafter referred to as HAAD) minimum requirements for the
Design and Construction of various types of Health Facilities and for the prequalification of
Design Consultants.
Throughout this document, the requirements set out are referred to as the Health Facility
Guidelines, Guidelines or these Guidelines. They may also be abbreviated as HFG or
HAAD-HFG.
The Guidelines consist of several volumes, as outlined below:
Part A - Administrative Provisions
Part B - Health Facility Briefing & Design
Part C - Access, Mobility, OH&S
Part D - Infection Control
Part E - Engineering
Part F- Feasibility Planning and Costing Guidelines

Part A - Administrative Provisions outlines the licensing process for Health Facilities and the
prequalification process for Design Consultants. Part A basically sets out the different
processes whereas Parts B to F cover the design and service definitions and requirements for
fully compliant Health Facilities. Part A includes:
Approval Process The five step approval process is explained in detail, including the
validity of the interim approvals and the deliverables for each submission.
Standards and Guidelines All Standards and Guidelines are listed for both the Health
Planning and Engineering disciplines.
Prequalification Provides all requirements to become prequalified and explains the
process in detail.
Part B - Health Facility Briefing & Design includes all Architectural and Health Facility Planning
Guidelines including:
Masterplanning and Health Planning
Role Delineation Level Guide (RDL)
Individual Functional Planning Units (FPUs)
Required Rooms and Areas by RDL and FPU
Functional Relationships
Typical Room Layout Sheets (RLS) for Standard Components
Room Data Sheets (RDS) for Standard Components

Part C - Access, Mobility, OH&S includes the over-riding requirements for Access, Mobility,
OHS and Security which include such considerations as corridor widths, slip resistance of
floors, need for natural light, ergonomic guides and other safety requirements. These are
focused on health projects unlike other generalised standards and guidelines such as those
used for disability access or fire evacuation. Where there is a conflict with other standards, the
most onerous standard will need to be adhered to.
Part D - Infection Control incorporates the requirements for infection control. Having a
separate section for these features prevents the need to re-state these requirements many
times, in the context of each department.
Part E - Engineering focuses on the engineering systems and environmental settings such as
Temperature range, humidity control, air changes per hour, size and type of lifts, acceptable
methods of hot water reticulation, ESD (Ecologically Sustainable Development) etc.
Part F Feasibility Planning and Costing Guidelines focuses on the processes required in the
www.haad.ae

pre-design period to ensure a viable, achievable and sustainable business. This includes the
preparation of a competent Feasibility Study taking into account the demand for the proposed
healthcare services, the existing supply and therefore the service gap. Other key elements of
the Feasibility Plan are described including the Human Resource (HR) Planning, Recurrent
and Capital Costing. Furthermore this section provides a guide for the health services which
may be permissible or restricted. The services are categorised as Centralised, Regional and
Standard. Certain restrictions apply to Centralised and Regional services.

1.1
The Purpose of the Guidelines
These Guidelines do not represent the ideal or best standards; neither do they cover
management practices beyond the influence of design. The main objective of these
Guidelines is to:
Establish the minimum acceptable standards for Health Facility Design and Construction.
Maintain public confidence in the standard of Health Care Facilities
Determine the basis for the approval and licensing of hospitals
Provide general guidance to designers seeking information on the special needs of
typical Health Facilities
Promote the design of Health Facilities with due regard for safety, privacy and dignity of
patients, staff and visitors
Eliminate design features that result in unacceptable practices
Eliminate duplication and confusion between various Standards and Guidelines
In many instances it may be desirable to exceed minimum requirements to achieve optimum

standards. Designers, operators and applicants for Health Facilities are encouraged to
innovate and exceed these requirements wherever possible.
These Guidelines have been compiled for HAAD. Many existing International Guidelines have
been referenced in these Guidelines, especially in Part E. However, the specific and unique
requirements of HAAD are clearly set out and these will over-ride any other Guidelines.
These Guidelines place emphasis on achieving Health Facilities that reflect current health
care functions and procedures in a safe and appropriate environment at a reasonable facility
cost.
1.2
Disclaimer
Although the quality of design and construction has a major impact on the quality of health
care, it is not the only influence. Management practices, staff quality and regulatory framework
potentially have a greater impact. Consequently, compliance with these Guidelines can
influence but not guarantee good healthcare outcomes.
HAAD will endeavour to identify for elimination any design and construction non-compliances
through the review of design submissions and through pre-completion building inspections,
however, the responsibility for compliance with the Guidelines remains solely with the
applicant. Any design and construction non-compliances identified during or after the approval
process, may need to be rectified at the sole discretion of HAAD at the expense of the
applicant.
Therefore, HAAD, its officers and the authors of these Guidelines accept no responsibility for
adverse outcomes in Health Facilities even if they are designed or approved under these
Guidelines.
Some deliverables of the application process described under these Guidelines requires the
submission of a Feasibility Plan, Costing and a demonstration of the capacity to fund the
proposed projects. Any approval of health facility applications under these guidelines does not
imply that HAAD, its officers and the authors of these Guidelines endorse or guarantee the
applicants business mode or financial capacity.
Compliance with these Guidelines does not imply that the facility will automatically qualify for
accreditation. Accreditation is primarily concerned with hospital management and patient care
practices, although the design and construction standard of the facility is certainly a
consideration.

1.3
HAAD HFG Updates
HAAD Health Facility Guidelines may be updated from time to time for a number of reasons
including, but not limited to the following:
Minor error correction
Additional FPU's
Additional Standard Components
Revisions due to HAAD policy changes
Revisions to meet current Models of Care and Technology
Approved suggestions from the health sector or other Authorities.

The latest changes will be reflected on the HAAD HFG website. HAAD HFG version numbers
will be changed to reflect the changes.
Whole number changes indicate major or numerous changes. These will typically occur once
a year and will be notified in a manner deemed appropriate by HAAD eg Version 3 to Version
4.
Decimal number changes reflect minor changes which will only be shown on the website with
the label NEW in red against the download link.
Users of the HAAD HFG's are expected to check the website frequently to ensure that they
use the latest version.
1.3.1
This Update
This update is version 3,3 dated April 2014.
The following have been added or changed in this issue:
Modified: This Part (A) now includes the requirements for Service Definition.
Added: Appendix 15 Pro-forma for the proposed Service Lines and DRGs
Added: Part F Feasibility and Costing Guidelines
1.4
Compliance of Existing Facilities
From time to time, at its sole discretion, HAAD may require existing facilities which are not
subject to a licensing application to comply with HAAD HFG's in part or as a whole. Directions
for such compliance may be given as a general health sector direction or on a facility-specific
basis.
Inspections of existing facilities, for any reason may also trigger an order for compliance. Such
orders will indicate the required timeframe for compliance.
Voluntary minor or progressive upgrades to existing facilities which change or contradict any
of the requirements of HAAD HFG or the use of the facility will require an application to HAAD
showing the full extent of work proposed and the timeframe for completion.
If the proposed changes for any reason or purpose affect no more than 50% of the area of
each FPU, the full requirements of HAAD HFG will apply only to the portions of those FPU's
being modified in aggregate.
Should the proposed changes for any reason or purpose affect more than 50% of the area of
each FPU, then the full requirements of HAAD HFG will apply to the whole of the relevant
FPU's. In other words, more than 50% change to an FPU will trigger the automatic
requirement to fully comply across the whole of that FPU.
www.haad.ae
Page 6
Furthermore if a change to one FPU has the effect of upgrading its current RDL, then
according to the HAAD HFG RDL Guide, this may require changes to other FPU's. For
example, if the RDL for an Operating Unit is upgraded from RDL 4 to 5, the RDL Guide should
be consulted to determine the required RDL for the Intensive Care Unit.
1.5
Changes during Construction
Any proposed changes to the design during the construction which may change or contradict
previous approvals by HAAD will require a revised submission to HAAD at the same level of
resolution and in a similar presentation to the original application. Such changes will be valid
only if approved by HAAD. Therefore such changes should be submitted in sufficient time for
approval before any of the inspections required under HAAD HFG.
The process of facility inspections by HAAD or other Authorities may not be used as an
avenue for proposing changes to existing facilities or designs previously approved under any
of the processes covered by the HAAD HFG. Failing this, the work may be rejected by HAAD
Inspectors, even if an application for change is pending.
HAAD inspectors will check the facilities only in accordance with submitted and approved
plans. Any approach to inspectors to change or relax previous approvals and requirements by
HAAD will be at the facility owners, operators and consultants risk and may be over-ruled by
HAAD at any time during or after construction.
Any valid Changes to previous HAAD approvals or interpretations of HAAD HFG's affecting
individual facilities will be issued by the HAAD formally and in writing.

2.0 Approval Process for Health Facilities

2.1
Introduction
2.1.1
Purpose
The purpose of the Approval Process for Health Facilities is to ensure all Health Facilities
within the Emirate of Abu Dhabi are planned, designed and constructed to a minimum
acceptable standard. It also aims to verify that the application is based on a reasonable
Feasibility Plan for permissible health services and the applicant has the capacity to fund the
project. This will maintain the public confidence in the quality of Health Facilities approved,
inspected and licensed by HAAD.
2.1.2
References within Part A of the Guidelines
Where underlined script is used, the applicant should refer to the Appendices at the end of
Part A.
Where italic script is used, the applicant should refer to the applicable section within Part A.
2.2
The Approval Process
2.2.1
The Approval Process - A Five Step Process Integrated within the General
Building Approval Process
The Approval Process consists of the following 5 steps, as illustrated on page 11 & 12:
STEP 1 - Registration of the Health Facility and Permissible Service Lines
STEP 2 - Schematic Design Submission
STEP 3 - Detailed Design Submission
STEP 4 - 90% Completion Inspection
STEP 5 - 100% Completion Inspection

2.2.2
New Health Facilities and Existing Health Facilities Undergoing Changes
The Approval Process applies to Health Facilities yet to be developed and existing Health
Facilities undergoing changes. Although already registered and licensed, when existing Health
Facilities make changes to their infrastructure and/or scope of service, HAAD will assess
whether there could be any adverse impacts on the quality and safety of patient care. Types
of changes could be:
Changing the scope of the facilitys service reductions or expansions of scope,

changing the type of service provided;
Changing the infrastructure of the facility reductions or expansions in area, refurbishing

existing area or
Any combination of the above.

Owners/Operators are therefore required to register any changes in the scope of service
and/or changes to the existing Health Facilitys infrastructure. HAAD will assess on a case by
case basis, which steps of the Approval Process will apply to existing projects lodged for
registration.
2.2.3
Design Changes during Approval Process
HAAD understands that design or other changes may need to be implemented mid-way
through the approval process. If it is necessary for the design or mix of services to be
changed, HAAD recommends that any such change be documented and re-lodged for
www.haad.ae
Page 8
registration. The unchanged part (if any) may proceed through the approval process as
described above while the changed part will be considered the same way as changes to an
existing facility. HAAD will assess such issues on a case by case basis and advise which
steps of the Approval Process will apply to the changes re-lodged for registration.
2.2.4
The Approval Process and its Integration in the General Building Approval
Process
The Health Facility Approval Process is integrated in the General Building Approval Process
for the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The exact timing of the different submissions to HAAD should be
adhered to and pre-requisites for the submissions are therefore in place.
The General Building Approval Process is governed by the Urban Planning Council and by the
Department of Municipal Affairs, through its three Municipalities: Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and
Western Regions. However, many other authorities and utility providers will be involved in the
approval of Health Facilities.
Although the sequence of the different steps within the General Building Approval Process
ensures all design aspects are studied and coordinated, because of the complexities that
come with healthcare design, it is recommended to have preliminary meetings with other
authorities and utility providers, ensuring concerns about site access, traffic management, car
parking, public transport, waste disposal, Estidama, etc. and the provisions of utilities are
discussed at an early stage. This can significantly reduce abortive work.
HAAD specifically draws the attention to the requirement to comply with Estidama. All public
buildings within Abu Dhabi will need to comply and achieve a Pearl 2 rating. The compliance
is governed both by the Urban Planning Council and by the respective Municipalities.
Refer to page 12 for the General Building Approval Process diagram for the Emirate of Abu
Dhabi and how the Approval Process for Health Facilities is integrated and sequenced within.
2.3
STEP 1 Registration of the Facility and Permissible Service Lines
2.3.1
Purpose
All Health Facilities in Abu Dhabi are required to be licensed. The registration is the first step
to obtain a license and describes the type and size of the facility, the type(s) of health services
provided, an approximate construction cost, etc.
2.3.2
Process
The Owner/Operator is to register the Health Facility by lodging the Health Facility
Licensing Application Form (refer to www.haad.ae Health Registration & Licensing
Application Form NFA). The Registration Form is then to be printed, signed by the
Owner/Operator and a hard copy lodged by hand to the HAAD office.
HAAD will examine the Registration form and either accept or reject it. If the Registration
form is accepted, HAAD will write to the applicant and advise that the intention to lodge
an application has been registered. If the information in the Registration form is
incomplete or unacceptable, HAAD will advise the applicant accordingly. At its sole
discretion, HAAD may invite the applicant for a discussion on the reasons for the rejection
of the Registration.
A successful Registration remains valid for twelve (12) months, during which the General
Building Approval Process can be continued and during which Step 2 of the Approval
Process for Health Facilities is to be initiated.
If required, the validity of the Registration can be extended for a further twelve (12)
months, by special application prior to the expiry of the twelve (12) months period,
www.haad.ae
Page 9
allowing the Owner/Operator to finalise the design.

If not accepted, the Registration needs to be re-lodged within twelve (12) months.
The Registration of an application does not in any way imply an approval of the facilities
or services being proposed. The Registration acceptance only implies that an application
is expected and may be lodged within the specified period.
HAAD, at its sole discretion, may from time to time make the subject of Registration
applications public, in order to inform other potential applicants of the interest in the
marketplace for the development of such facilities and provision of certain services.
2.3.3
Should the Owner/Operator let the Registration Approval expire, the registration process
is to be re-initiated.
Only two (2) registration attempts will be permitted per project.
Applicants are advised to visit the HAAD website at www.haad.ae/statistics and
www.haad.ae/statistics-xl and verify the status of health services being proposed. HAAD
categorises health services at Service Line and DRG (Diagnosis Related Group) levels
into Centralised, Regional and Standard groups as follows:
o Centralised services are restricted to a few (generally Public) facilities.
o Regional services are restricted to population catchments of equal or greater than
260,000.
o Standard services can be provided by any licensed facility and operator.
From time to time, such Central and Regional services may be advertised by HAAD,
inviting applicants to provide them.
Applications for Registration which include restricted services may be refused by HAAD.
Any acceptance of an application with restricted services does not imply acceptance of
those restricted services. It only implies that the Health Authority is prepared to receive
an application on that basis and consider it for approval or rejection.
Applicants will be required to re-state the intended Service Lines and DRGs again at
Steps 2 and 3 of the Licensing Process. At each Step in the process the applicant must
check the status of Central, Regional and Standard services as these may change
without prior notification.
2.3.4
Considerations
Deliverables
Health Facility Licensing Application to be obtained online.

Signed copy of the Health Facility Licensing Application Form to be lodged at the HAAD
office.
The short form of Feasibility Study and Costing described under Part F: Section 4.1 SelfCheck for minimal information required for Part A Step 1 This includes:
o Executive Summary (including a Capital Cost Statement)
o Proposed Services and Facilities
o Signed copy of the Appendix 15 Pro-forma for the proposed Service Lines and
DRGs completed to show that the intended services are in line with the HAAD policy
on Regional, Centralised and Standard services.
o Statement of Funding capacity
2.4
STEP 2 Schematic Submission
2.4.1
Purpose
To allow HAAD to identify major design anomalies or errors prior to detailed development of
the Health Facility, a first submission of the documentation is expected at Schematic Design
level. An approval will also be a pre-requisite for an approval by the Urban Planning Council.
www.haad.ae
Page 10
2.4.2
The Owner/Operator is to register the submission by lodging the Schematic Submission

Registration Form (appendix 01) online. The Registration Form is then to be printed,
signed by the Owner/Operator and a hard copy lodged with the submission. HAAD will
advise by return email when the submission can be lodged at HAAD.
The Owner/Operator is to prepare an Architectural Submission only - all the required
documents in compliance with the deliverables as described on the Deliverables for
Schematic Submission (appendix 06). The documents are then lodged in both hard copy
and soft copy, at the HAAD office.
The submission is checked for completeness by the receiving HAAD official. Incomplete
or non-complying submissions will be rejected.
HAAD then will review the submission against these Guidelines.
If approved, the Approval in Principle Schematic (AIP-S, appendix 02) will be granted
together with an Assessment Report (appendix 14) listing all non compliances to be
rectified. The AIP-S remains valid for twelve (12) months, during which the General
Building Approval Process can be continued and during which Step 3 of the Approval
Process for Health Facilities is to be initiated.
If required, the validity of the AIP-S can be extended for a further twelve (12) months, by
special application prior to expiry of the twelve (12) months period, allowing the
Owner/Operator to finalise the design.
If not approved, the Schematic Submission is to be re-lodged within three (3) months.
2.4.3
2.4.4
Considerations
Should the Owner/Operator let the AIP-S expire, the Schematic Submission process is to
be re-initiated.
Only two (2) Schematic Submissions will be permitted for the same project or the
Registration will be revoked.
For Standards and Guidelines to adhere to, refer to Standards and Guidelines on pages
13 and 14.
The Owner/Operator should again check the permissible services on the HAAD website
at www.haad.ae/statistics and www.haad.ae/statistics-xl . Restricted services under the
Centralised services category may be refused. Regional services which are already well
supplied for population catchments of around 250,000 may also be refused. If in doubt,
applicants may contact HAAD for information on restricted services.
Process
Deliverables
Applications must include drawings and other documents to represent the proposed
design. These documents must be in compliance with the Deliverables for Schematic
Submission to simplify and speed up the process of evaluation.
Incomplete submissions or submissions that do not follow the prescribed format may be
rejected.
Deliver:
o Schematic Submission Registration Form (appendix 01) to be lodged online
o Signed copy of the Schematic Submission Registration Form (appendix 01)
o Signed copy of the Deliverables for Schematic Submission (appendix 06)
o Architectural Schematic Design drawings and reports as indicated on the Deliverables
for Schematic Submission
o Signed copy of the Feasibility Study and Feasibility Checklist as per the requirements
of Part F and its appendices
Signed copy of the Pro-forma for Service Lines and DRGs (Appendix 15) completed to
show that the intended services are in line with the HAAD policy on Regional and
Centralised services. This requirement confirms the services proposed in previous
submission (Steps 1). Alternatively it may indicate a refinement of the proposed services
based on the development of the design or changed market conditions. Any revisions to
www.haad.ae
Page 11
the previously proposed Service Lines and DRGs needs to comply with the latest HAAD
policy on the Regional and Centralised services.
2.5
STEP 3 Detailed Submission
2.5.1
Purpose
To allow HAAD to identify detailed design anomalies or errors prior to construction of the
Health Facility, a second submission of the documentation is expected at Detailed Design
level. An approval will also be a pre-requisite for an approval by the governing Municipality
(Abu Dhabi, Al Ain or Western Regions).
2.5.2
The Owner/Operator is to register the submission by lodging the Detailed Submission

Registration Form (appendix 03) online. The Registration Form is then to be printed,
signed by the Owner/Operator and a hard copy lodged with the submission. HAAD will
advise by return email when the submission can be lodged at HAAD.
The Owner/Operator is to prepare a submission both containing Architectural and MEP
Engineering documentation - all the required documents in compliance with the
deliverables as described on the Deliverables for Detailed Submission (appendix 07).
The documents are then lodged in both hard copy and soft copy, at the HAAD office,
together with the signed registration form.
The submission is checked for completeness by the receiving official. Incomplete or noncomplying submissions will be rejected.
HAAD then will review the submission against the Standards and Guidelines and against
the Assessment Report (appendix 12) of the Schematic Design submission.
If approved, the Approval in Principle Detailed (AIP-D, appendix 04) will be granted
together with an Assessment Report listing all non compliances to be rectified. The AIP-D
remains valid for twelve (12) months, during which the General Building Approval
Process can be continued and during which Step 4 needs to be initiated.
If required, the validity of the AIP-D can be extended for a further twelve (12) months or
longer (to be agreed with HAAD and depending on the size of the project), by special
application prior to the expiry of the twelve (12) months period, allowing the
Owner/Operator to reach the 90% completion level.
If not approved, and the number and severity of non compliances are considered
acceptable (at the sole discretion of HAAD), an Assessment Report listing all non
compliances to be rectified is issued to the applicant with the request to:
o Re-lodge only those portions of the submission that require redesign, within 3 months.
o Provide answers/solutions to all outstanding non compliances in the Assessment
Report.
If this re-lodgement is approved, the AIP-D will be granted together with a revised
Assessment Report listing all non compliances to be rectified. The process then
continues as described above.
If the re-lodgement is still not approved, an Assessment Report listing all non
compliances to be rectified is issued to the applicant with the request to reinitiate Step 3
within 6 months. Only three (3) Detailed Submissions will be allowed for the same project
or the Registration will be revoked.
2.5.3
Process
Considerations
Should the Owner/Operator let the AIP-D expire, the detailed submission process is to be
re-initiated.
Only three (3) Schematic Submissions will be permitted for the same project or the
Registration will be revoked.
For standards and guidelines to adhere to, refer to Standards and Guidelines on page 13,
14.
www.haad.ae
Page 12
The Owner/Operator should again check the permissible services on the HAAD website
at www.haad.ae/statistics and www.haad.ae/statistics-xl . Restricted services under the
Centralised services category may be refused. Regional services which are already well
supplied for population catchments of around 250,000 may also be refused. If in doubt,
applicants may contact HAAD for information on restricted services.
2.5.4
Deliverables
Applications must include drawings and other documents to represent the proposed
design. These documents must be in compliance with the Deliverables for Detailed

show that the intended services are in line with the HAAD policy on Regional and
Centralised services. This requirement confirms the services proposed in previous
submissions (Steps 1 and 2). Alternatively it may indicate a refinement of the proposed
services based on the development of the design or changed market conditions. Any
revisions to the previously proposed Service Lines and DRGs needs to comply with the
latest HAAD policy on Regional and Centralised services.
2.5.5
Design Changes Requested by the Municipality or Other Authorities giving

Approval after the Approval in Principle Detailed (AIP-D) was issued.
It is the Owner/Operators obligation and responsibility to notify HAAD of any changes

requested by the Municipality and other authorities after issue of AIP-D. The Owner/ Operator
should be aware that significant changes requested by the Municipality or other authorities not
reported to HAAD will risk future penalties such as denial of License to Operate certificate
post completion.
2.6
STEP 4 90% Completion Inspection
2.6.1
Purpose
2.6.2
To allow HAAD to identify construction anomalies or errors and to verify outstanding non
compliances from Step 3 are implemented, a 90% Completion Inspection is expected
during construction.
Process
The Owner/Operator is to request the inspection by lodging the Request for Inspection
Form (appendix 05) online, at least four (4) weeks prior to the inspection. The registration
form is then to be printed, signed by the Owner/Operator and a hard copy lodged with the

Form (appendix 05) online, at least four (4) weeks prior to the inspection. The registration
form is then to be printed, signed by the Owner/Operator and a hard copy lodged with the
submission. HAAD will advise by return email when the submission can be lodged at the
HAAD office.
The Owner/Operator is to prepare an Architectural and an MEP Engineering Progress
Report, listing all outstanding non compliances from Steps 3 and 4 and their answers and
solutions using the format of the Assessment Report (appendix 12). The Report is then
lodged in both hard copy and soft copy, at the HAAD office, together with the signed
Request for Inspection Form (appendix 05).
HAAD then will review the Progress Report and advise when the inspection will take
place.
HAAD then will inspect the facility and note comments (if any) on the Report.
The Report is returned to the Owner/Operator requesting modifications where required.
Further inspections may be imposed by HAAD, as required, until all issues are resolved
to the satisfaction of HAAD.

Standards and Guidelines
For the purpose of compliance with the HAAD requirements only, all Health Facilities in the
Emirate of Abu Dhabi are to be designed to the Standards and Guidelines as set out in the
tables below. Projects lodged with HAAD for review will therefore be tested for compliance
against these Standards and Guidelines only.
Where various Standards and Guidelines provide information, the following rules apply:
The Standards and Guidelines as set out in the tables below are minimum requirements
for compliance with HAADs design criteria only. Where other authorities request
compliance with other Standards and Guidelines, the most onerous Standards and
Guidelines should be adhered to.
Where the HAAD Health Facility Guidelines Part B to E provide design information that is
covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act 1994 (ADA 1994), the design
information provided under the HAAD Health Facility Guidelines Part B to E shall prevail.

3.0 Prequalification Process for Health Facility Design Consultants

3.1
The Prequalification Process
3.1.1
What is Prequalification and what is its Purpose?
The prequalification of Health Facility Design Consultants is a further initiative by the HAAD
Licensing Department to ensure new Health Facilities within the Emirate of Abu Dhabi are
designed to the appropriate standards by competent consultants. Furthermore they will give
HAAD confidence that the design outcome will be in line with the Standards and Guidelines
which subsequently will reduce the processing time of the Health Facility Approval Process.
A Prequalified Health Facility Design Consultant (HFDC) will be permitted to participate in the
development of Health Facilities and is therefore automatically permitted to lodge Schematic
and Detailed Submissions to HAAD as part of the Health Facility Approval Process.
3.1.2
Definition of the Health Facility Design Consultant
A Health Facility Design Consultant may be an individual, a company or a similar.

In the assessment of prequalifications, the following requirements will apply:
An individual may apply for prequalification if he/she has the minimum necessary
experience as described in this section.
A company may apply for prequalification if at least 50% of its Directors are prequalified.
Companies and Individuals may form a consortium to combine the skills of different
entities for the purpose of designing Health Facilities. A consortium may act as a Health
Facility Design Consultant if it includes members (being individuals or companies) who
are already prequalified.
HAAD may prequalify only legally recognised entities. Should a consortium or Joint
Venture (JV) form a legal entity recognised in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, it may apply for
prequalification as a separate entity to its individual members.
A consortium or JV may carry out Health Facility Design work, however, in the context of
HAAD applications requiring prequalified consultants, only those portions of the Consortia
or JVs which are prequalified will be recognised.
A Health Facility Design Consultant may be prequalified in the following disciplines:
Healthcare Architecture
Healthcare Mechanical and HVAC including Medical Gases
Healthcare Electrical (Power, lighting, ELV, lightning protection) , IT and Communications
Public Health (Plumbing, drainage, LPG gas)
Biomedical Engineering
The HAAD requirements for prequalification are in addition to any other legal or professional
requirements for practice under these disciplines.
A Healthcare project may require many more consultants including:
Town/Urban Planner
Landscape Architect
Traffic Engineer
Civil and Structural Engineer
Wayfinding/Signage Consultant
Quantity Surveyor
Faade Engineer
Radiation Shielding
Catering
Sterilising
Others
www.haad.ae
Page 19
HAAD does not prequalify consultants for these disciplines but prequalification may be
required by other authorities.
3.1.3
How can a Design Consultant become Prequalified?
Design Consultants can become prequalified by filling out a Consultants Prequalification

Application Form and lodging a signed copy with HAAD. This document will collect important
information which will be used to assess the capability of the Design Consultant.
The Design Consultants expertise will be assessed on multiple criteria including the following:
the experience of the organisation; The organisation will be assessed on the number
and type of Health Facilities designed and completed both outside and within the UAE.
The size and complexity of the Health Facilities will also be taken into consideration.
the experience and prequalification of the key individuals within the organisation;
The individual expertise is important because key staff may leave the organisation,
leaving the applicant without any experienced staff.
the resources within the organisation; Since the level of prequalification is partly
based on the size of projects undertaken, obviously only organisations with sufficient
staffing will be permitted to undertake large scale projects. The staff may include those
working from a UAE base or from other Countries.
the methodology and systems used within the organisation; To a large degree, the
successful completion of a Health Facility is dependent on using internationally
recognised tools and systems.
Consultants currently working with or under HAAD; Consultants considered to be

performing to an acceptable standard will be given priority for prequalification for a period
of 12 months from the publication of these Guidelines.
3.2
Definition of Building Types
For the purpose of this section of the Guidelines, Health Facility Building Types are defined as
follows:
3.2.1
Hospital
Definition - A Hospital is defined as a Health Care Facility intended for the diagnosis and
treatment of patients. For the purpose of these Guidelines, a Health Facility providing
overnight care of patients will be classified as a Hospital.
Hospital Types may include:
o Research and Teaching Hospitals
o General Hospitals
o Specialist Maternity Hospitals
o Specialist Paediatric Hospitals
o Specialist Cancer Care Hospitals
o Specialist Rehabilitation Hospitals
o Specialist Mental Health Hospitals
o Any combination of the above or other specialities
Some facilities will be treated in a similar manner to Hospitals however due to their lesser
complexity; their prequalification level will be reduced. Types may include:
o Nursing Homes
o Dementia Care Centres
www.haad.ae
Page 20
3.2.2
Definition A Day Procedure Centre is defined as Health Care Facility intended for the
diagnosis and treatment of patients. For the purpose of these guidelines, where this type
of facility does not provide overnight care of patients, it will be classified as a Day
Procedure Centre.
Day Procedure Centre Types may include:
o Day Surgery Hospitals
o Specialist Dental Surgery Centres
o Specialist Eye Surgery Centres
o Specialist Orthopaedic Centres
o Specialist Plastic Surgery Centres
o Specialist Radiotherapy Centres
o Specialist Chemotherapy Centres
o Specialist Dialysis Centres
o Specialist Invasive Imaging Centres
3.2.3
Rehabilitation Centre
Definition A Rehabilitation Centre is defined as a Health Care Facility intended for the
treatment of patients with disabilities or injuries which require long term care. For the
purpose of these Guidelines, where this type of facility does not provide overnight care of
patients, it will be classified as Rehabilitation Centre.
Rehabilitation Centre Types may include:
o Specialist Physiotherapy Centres
o Specialist Occupational Therapy Centres
o Specialist Hydrotherapy Centres
o Specialist Prosthetics and Orthotics Centres
3.2.5
Diagnostic Centre
Definition A Diagnostic Centre is defined as a Health Care Facility intended for the
diagnosis of patients through specialist services and equipment. For the purpose of these
Guidelines, where this type of facility is stand alone and does not provide treatment
services, it will be classified as a Diagnostic Centre.
Diagnostic Centre Types may include:
o Medical Imaging Centres
o Nuclear Medicine Centres (not involving treatment)
o Phlebotomy Centres
o General Diagnostic Centres Electroencephalography (EEG), Electrocardiography
(ECG), etc
3.2.4
Day Procedure Centre
Clinic and Medical Centre
Definition - Clinic A Clinic is defined as a Health Care Facility intended for the diagnosis
and minor treatment of patients. For the purpose of these Guidelines, generally, all Health
Care Facilities not classified under Hospitals, Day Procedure Centres, Rehabilitation
Centres or Diagnostic Centres will be classified as a Clinic.
Definition Medical Centre A Medical Centre is a Clinic with the addition of support
services such as a Laboratory and a Radiology Department.
Clinic Types may include:
o General Practice or Group Practice Primary Health Centres
o General and Specialised Clinics - Medical Polyclinics School Clinics
o General and Specialised Dental Clinics - Dental Polyclinics
o Community Health Centres
www.haad.ae
Page 21
3.2.6
3.2.7
Pharmaceutical Facility
A Pharmaceutical facility will always be reviewed as part of the above Health Facility
Types. Only where they are stand alone, the design can be completed by a Tier 1 Design
Consultant
Mobile Unit
A Mobile Unit can accommodate any of the Health Facilities mentioned above and is
therefore covered under its own prequalification level.
3.3
The Level of Prequalification linked to the Type of Health Facility
3.3.1
A Tier Based System
For the purpose of prequalification, Health Facilities are divided into different types. Each type
will require a minimum level of prequalification based on the complexity of the facility as
follows:
Design Consultants with a prequalification level of Tier 1 will only be permitted to

undertake the smallest and least complex Health Facilities.
Design Consultants with a higher level of prequalification (Tier 2-4) will be permitted to
undertake the more complex Health Facilities.
3.3.2
Lowering the Barrier to Entry
The HAAD prequalification system aims to lower the barrier to entry into the Health Facility
Design field experienced by local consultants. The typical path for an individual Generalpractice Architect wishing to specialise in this field would be to work for a prequalified
company on a range of healthcare projects under the supervision of experienced specialists.
The individual can then apply for prequalification, initially at low Tier levels and subsequently
at higher Tier levels.
Prequalified individuals can then form new companies, employ support staff and apply for the
prequalification of the company.
3.3.3
Increasing the level of prequalification
Individual Consultants may apply for higher Tiers of prequalification based on the experience
they gain at lower Tiers as well as work under the supervision of others on higher tiers.
HAAD at its sole discretion may consider these applications and progressively increase the
prequalification Tier of the consultants.
Companies may also apply for higher Tiers of prequalification based on the experience and
prequalification of specialist staff that they employ as well as a minimum of 50% of the
directors. This experience is demonstrated through the application forms listing the experience
and responsibility for such projects at higher Tier levels.
3.3.4
Frequency of Application
The first applications for HAAD Health Facility Consultant Prequalification may be submitted at
any time. Subsequent applications may be submitted for a number of reasons at the following
intervals:
Submission after the expiry of prequalification- at any time
Re-submission with better information, if requested by HAAD- at any time
Re-submission due to the rejection of a previous application- 6 months after the original
application
Application for increase in the Tier of prequalification- 6 months after the original
www.haad.ae
Page 22
application
3.3.5
Duration of Prequalification
The HAAD prequalification for the current Tier, will be valid for a period of 3 years after
approval by HAAD.
During the period of validity, the Consultants are required to inform HAAD of any major
changes to the information supplied to HAAD on the prequalification forms including changes
to directorship and departure of key specialist staff.
Consultants may apply for the renewal of the prequalification for a further period of 3 years by
the submission of a new prequalification application. A new prequalification application may
be lodged up to 2 months before the expiry of the current prequalification.
A renewed application may be a copy of the previous application with updated information
unless HAAD requirements for prequalification change in the interim period.
The applicant may also request an increase in the Tier level at the time of renewal.
HAAD at its sole discretion may renew the application at the new or a different Tier level.
3.3.6
Prequalification Tier based on building types
Tier levels are based broadly on the experience of different Health Facility Building Types as
listed on the next page. The Health Facilities in turn include one or more Functional Planning
Units (FPUs) as defined under these Guidelines. The information supplied by the applicants
will be used by HAAD to assess the broad range of skills in the design for the relevant FPUs
forming these building types and therefore the appropriate Tier level of prequalification.
3.3.7
Co-Existing and Integrated Facilities and their Classification
Portions of Health Facility types (as listed on the next page) may perform services which are
separately covered under these Guidelines. Where these services operate as an integrated
service within the overall Health Facility and benefit from the overall common services, staff
and patient flows, they will be regarded as part of the overall Health Facility and therefore fall
under its prequalification level.
The services which are relatively independent of the overall Health Facility will be regarded as
separate facilities under these Guidelines and therefore fall under their separate
prequalification levels.
Here are some examples:
A Medical Diagnostic Imaging Service within a Hospital will fall under the Hospitals
prequalification Level.
A Dental Clinic on the same grounds as a Day Procedure Centre but operating
independently will fall under its own prequalification Level.
Good indicators of integrated services are:
Common facilities for patient flow management
Common staff and support facilities
Requirement for direct, internal patient transfer
Common paper based medical records
Common building services including central energy facilities
Common services equipment such as air handling units

The purpose of this requirement is to ensure that the Design Consultants whose work can
potentially affect the functionality of other, more complex and critical areas of Health Facilities
are prequalified at the appropriate level.

HAAD OFFICER CHECK
1. This document provides information on all the deliverables required for a Schematic Submission. It specifies what the deliverables are, their quantity, format, size, scale and content.
2. This document also is to be used as a Checklist for the applicant, to verify the submission is complete. To ensure a complete and compliant submission is presented to HAAD, the applicant is to check all the boxes in the green field. Although HAAD encourages the applicant to provide as much information
as possible, there may be reasons why certain deliverables may not need to be provided. Where the submission deviates from what is listed below, the applicant is to list these in a separate Non-Compliance Report (refer to item 1.6 and 1.7) and explain the reason. It should however be noted submissions
deemed incomplete may be rejected by HAAD. It is therefore the applicant's responsibility to be as complete as possible and where in doubt, consult HAAD for the exact requirements. The deliverables as listed below are applicable to a large scale, complex Health Facility - small scale, basic facilities may
be exempt from providing certain deliverables.
A vertical transportation study is obviously not required for single level facilities. For multiple storey facilities, it may only be required if over a certain size - applicant to confirm with HAAD
Examples:
Details for food storage and preparation are not required if the health facility does not provide this service
Details of medication delivery may not be required for a small dental clinic

Important notes
1. To ensure all health facilities within the Emirate of Abu Dhabi are designed and built to a high standard, HAAD will enforce compliance with all requirements as set out in the Health Facility Guidelines. Practically this means all design aspects are to comply with the Standards and Guidelines as
listed in Part A of the Health Facility Guidelines. However, there may be circumstances where compliance is difficult or impossible - only in those cases HAAD will allow the applicant to propose alternative solutions. This Non-Compliance Report in no way provides an opportunity for the designer to
make the health facility compliant with a Standard / Guideline than prescribed by HAAD.
2. By signing the Deliverables for Schematic / Detailed Submission Form the Applicant confirms the list of non-compliances for both the deliverables and the design as listed in the Report is complete.

Template - Role Delineation Matrix
XYZ Hospital, Abu Dhabi
Introduction:
Role Delineation refers to a level of service that describes the complexity of the clinical activities undertaken by that service. The level is chiefly determined by the presence of medical, nursing and other
health care personnel who hold qualifications compatible with the defined level of care.
Each level of service has associated minimum standards, support services and staffing profiles considered appropriate.
Role delineation is a process which ensures that clinical services are provided safely, and are appropriately supported by the provision of adequate staffing numbers and profiles, minimum safety standards
and other requirements.
Levels of Service range from 1 to 6 for each major clinical activity or support service associated with health facilities with Level 0 referring to the lowest complexity service and Level 6 describing the most
complex.
Those services not identified will generally follow the Role Delineation of the particular hospital or facility they are applicable to. A hospital or health care facility is deemed to be at a particular level when the
majority of clinical and support services provided are of that particular level.

Guide
HAAD Service Lines
A basic unit of healthcare capacity: the multidisciplinary team, facilities and associated resources serving a defined patient population
within a clinical discipline through the continuum of care (inpatient and outpatient). HAAD delineate its service lines and is categorized
into 32 services lines
Note: Assigning DRGs to HAAD servise line at operational level is not compulsory
DRGs Code
Diagnosis Related Group Codes : Are numbered using a six digit number, the first two digits represents the MDC,the third digit is the
DRG type, the fourth and the fifth digits are the unique DRG number for the MDC and DRG type, the sixth digit of the DRG number is
the severity subclass for the DRG.

HAAD Classification ( We define three levels:
Adult )
- Standard Services: May be delivered by all inpatient and outpatient locations
- Regional Services: Delivered on an Abu Dhabi planning region basis dependent on quality, cost, and access issues (1-5 per region)
- Centralized Services: Due to rarity of disease process or complexity of service required, a single facility will be identified to provide this
multidisciplinary care
Note : Adult applies to 18 Years old and above
