(1) If a building entrance is used to reach outpatient services, the applicant or licensee shall ensure the entrance is: (a) at grade level; (b) clearly marked; and (c) located to minimize the need for outpatients to pass through other program areas. (2) The applicant or licensee shall ensure the outpatient surgery discharge location provides protection from the weather by providing canopies that extend from the building to permit sheltered transfer to a vehicle. (3) The applicant or licensee may utilize a shared lobby in a multi-occupancy building if the design prohibits unrelated traffic within or through units or suites of the licensed health care facility.
