New AHIA Resource: Design Guidance: Medical Services Panels and Pendants

We are pleased to advise that a new resource Design Guidance: Medical Services Panels and Pendants has been uploaded to the AusHFG website. 

This resource has been developed to provide a comprehensive resource on the design and configuration of medical services panels and pendants. It includes terminology and descriptions for panel and pendant as assemblies, as well as information on the various components that are delivered to clinical spaces through these assemblies such as medical gases, power, data, and nurse call services. This document also highlights important considerations for panel and pendant layouts in various clinical contexts.

Medical services panels and pendants play a vital role in providing essential services to support clinical workflows and patient care. Careful planning of these assemblies is fundamental to ensure efficiency and safety. Design Guidance: Medical Services Panels and Pendants is intended to support planning by giving design teams, clinicians and hospital operators on health infrastructure projects across Australia and New Zealand clear, consolidated information and consistent terminology.

A thank you is extended to all those who have contributed to the development of this resource.

Kind Regards,

AusHFG Team
