This paper provides an overview of inpatient bedroom and support space criteria based on clinical requirements of care. Space requirements are described functionally as they relate to the level of care required or the acuity of the patient. For the purposes of this paper, and in the majority of cases, the level of care provided falls into one of two categories: acute care or intensive care. While patients may be grouped according to medical specialty and be assigned to a bed on a specialty unit, the majority of those specialty beds will continue to fall under either the acute or intensive level of care and will continue to require similar services.
