A healthcare facility is a multifunctional building or campus that provides health care to citizens and when designated, also provides protection to the population in times of crisis. This includes common functions associated with patient care (e.g. operating rooms, emergency rooms, recovery rooms, etc), but also areas for educational centers, exercise facilities, food service, and other non-patient care activities. Significant amounts of advanced information technology for patient records and accounting functions, laboratories, various imaging systems, (e.g. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasounds, x-ray, computerized axial tomography, etc), and security systems are used to meet the mission of a healthcare organization.
