If your hospital is 100-percent designed, you likely won't have too many questions. All the circuitry, conduit sizes, cable types, scope notes, etc., may be laid out for you. All you have to do is get it counted, rolled off and entered into your database. However, if the plans are an incom plete design development or construction document, you may have some questions, and you better answer them fast. Hos pitals are usually designed to very high standards and are often mandated by the National Electrical Code (NEC) and other codes, especially federal and state codes, such as the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSPHD) in California. Often, these governing agen cies dictate a lot of whatyou can and can't do, as well as what you must do.
