Testing Procedures (revised)

The final solution is expected to operate smoothly and function accordingly. The design of the layout is to get rid of inconvenient traffic flow within the building and to create better communication. This is especially important for diagnosis of patients. Patient rooms and employee rooms are going to be separated into two different hallways for this purpose.

The EMC must follow certain specifications and limitations such as:
- not exceeding the plot of land
- following all building codes and township codes
- managing labor, time, and materials wisely
- being on a main street but not obstructing traffic
- having adequate parking
- being handicapped accessible
- having ambulance parking and emergency doors
- having large storage areas
- having a waiting room and reception desk
- having all necessary rooms for medical attention
- having an adequate number of restrooms
- offer a range of medical attention from slightly injured/ill to an emergency situation

All of this information is then compared to the design, required drawings, and model to make sure everything is correct, accurate, and professional. Mentors and peers will be asked to criticize before the final presentation to clients is given.
Testing Procedures in order of operation:
1) Make sure all blueprints and other drawings are accurate and correct. Prepare final survey.
2) Discuss final products with mentors for additional feedback.
3) Prepare model/presentation for clients.
3) Set up date and place to meet with clients.
4) Present to clients all information, processes, drawings, sections, and model.
5) Ask for feedback from clients.
6) Distribute survey for clients evaluating design.

Example Survey:
Name: ____________________ Date: __________

1. Do you believe this is a functional design for the designated objective? Why or why not?

2. Does the location appeal to you based on need for medical assistance in the area?

3. Does the design seem to include all necessary components of an emergency medical center? If not, what is it missing?

4. Are the drawings and model accurate, professional, and realistic for an actual job plan?

5. Is the proposed solution overall something you like or dislike? Why?
