Clinic Conversion Checklist

Considerations and Opportunities for Maximizing and Repurposing Existing Exam Room Space:

Exam chairs in lieu of exam tables
Virtual connections
Wall-mounted workstations in exam rooms, especially if swing arms are installed
Mobile carts that can travel to any room if the connections are installed in the
rooms and allow for dynamic exams
iPad or other handheld device
Multiple wall mounted monitors for consults within room
Diffuse lighting in front of patient (avoid top-down lighting), but the in-room nurse or
provider may need to use a movable exam light or headlamp to visualize specific issues
Light and bright walls that do not create color rendition on skin or clothing. It’s best if the
paint has a matte finish (no gloss) to reduce glare.
Minimize windows or utilize black-out shades to minimize patient shading
Adequate sound transmission class ratings for doors and walls to minimize noise
interference and for HIPAA compliance
Maintain hand-washing sinks
