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”.
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 (FPU’s)
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
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
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
applicant’s 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.
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.
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.
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.
2.1.1 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.
Where “italic script” is used, the applicant should refer to the applicable section within Part A.
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 facility’s 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 Facility’s infrastructure. HAAD will assess on a case by
case basis, which steps of the Approval Process will apply to existing projects lodged for
registration.
2.2.4 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.
2.3.1 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,
2.3.3 Considerations
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 DRG’s 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 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 Self-
Check 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
DRG’s 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
2.4.1 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.
2.4.3 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.
2.4.4 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 DRG’s (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
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 Process
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 non-
complying 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 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.
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
Submission (appendix 07) 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 Detailed Submission Registration Form (appendix 03) to be lodged online
o Signed copy of the Detailed Submission Registration Form (appendix 03)
o Signed copy of the Deliverables for Detailed Submission (appendix 07)
o Detailed Design drawings and reports as indicated on the Deliverables for Detailed
Submission

requirements of Part F and its appendices
Signed copy of the Pro-forma for Service Lines and DRG’s (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
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 DRG’s needs to comply with the
latest HAAD policy on Regional and Centralised services.
2.6.1 Purpose
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.
2.6.2 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
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 Step 3 and their answers–solutions–
status–progress on site – using the format of the Assessment Report (appendix 12). The
2.6.3 Deliverables
Request for Inspection Form (appendix 05) to be lodged online.
Signed copy of the Request for Inspection Form (appendix 05) to be lodged to the HAAD
office, together with the Progress Report.
2.7.1 Purpose
To allow HAAD to identify construction anomalies or errors and to verify outstanding non
compliances from Steps 3 and 4 are implemented, a 100% Completion Inspection is expected
at the end of construction and prior to any occupation.
2.7.2 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
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.
2.7.3 Deliverables
Request for Inspection Form (appendix 05) to be lodged online.
Signed copy of the Request for Inspection Form (appendix 05) to be lodged to the HAAD
office, together with the signed Progress Report.
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 HAAD’s 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.
Standards and Guidelines applying to the Architectural Discipline
1 HAAD Health Facility Guidelines ‐ Part B to D
In situations where compliance with the Standards and Guidelines has not been achieved or is
impractical, the non‐compliance is to be highlighted to HAAD. Reasons for such non‐
compliance and an alternative solution are to be put forward for consideration. HAAD (at its
sole discretion), may accept alternative solutions or compliance with other internationally
recognised Standards and Guidelines offered by the applicant.

In situations where compliance with the Standards and Guidelines has not been achieved or is
impractical, the non‐compliance is to be highlighted to HAAD. Reasons for such non‐compliance and
an alternative solution are to be put forward for consideration. HAAD (at its sole discretion), may
accept alternative solutions or compliance with other internationally recognised Standards and
Guidelines offered by the applicant.
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.
The HAAD requirements for prequalification are in addition to any other legal or professional
requirements for practice under these disciplines.
The Design Consultant’s 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.
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
Prequalified individuals can then form new companies, employ support staff and apply for the
prequalification of the company.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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
