Consultation, Examination and Treatment Areas

Each clinic shall provide consultation, examination, treatment and dressing areas appropriate to the services provided by the clinic. Each clinic shall furnish and arrange such areas in a manner consistent with their use and that safeguards the personal dignity and privacy (in terms of both sight and sound) of the patient during interview, examination and treatment. If separate consultation or interview rooms are not provided, the treatment area shall have floor to ceiling partitions to ensure minimum sound transmission.
