The Infrastructure Evaluation Tool (IET) assists healthcare leaders and facility engineers with evaluating mechanical, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure to support decision-making and prioritization when repurposing non-clinical internal space, creating an external alternate care site, or repurposing existing internal clinical space to meet surge demand, while supporting infection prevention and control. This tool delineates the differences in current (2022) recommendations from the Facilities Guidelines Institute (FGI) between different types of licensed patient care areas, using critical care airborne infection isolation rooms as the benchmark.
