What is AHCA? Divisions and Departments
The Division of Health Quality Assurance (HQA) is the division in AHCA that is responsible for licensure and oversight of health care facilities.
Field Operations, Health Facility Regulation, and Plans and Construction, are bureaus within HQA.
The bureau of Plans and Construction is known as the "Office of Plans and Construction" or "OPC", because the bureau was originally formed under the bureau of Health Quality Assurance when all health and human services agencies were consolidated under the Department of Health and Rehabilitation Services (HRS).

What is AHCA reviewable ?
- Any alteration, renovation, new constriction connected to hospital utilities. Meaning, any
project that has an impact on infection control risk
assessment (ICRA), life safety or utilities that is not
of an emergency nature, maintenance or repair.
- Emergency projects need to be notified and documentation submitted as soon as practicable.
- Emergency work may ultimately require a plan review, but AHCA will work to expedite review and approval.
- When in doubt, call AHCA’s Architect Supervisor or Engineer Administrator and issue a follow up letter with narrative describing scope. Letter can be from Design Professional or Facilities. Response usually within 7 calendar days.
9/30/2019

What is an ICRA?
● ICRA stands for Infection Control Risk Assessment. It is part of The Guidelines Safety Risk Assessment requirements (SRA).
● ICRA has different levels and those levels are determined by the facility in consultation with the interdisciplinary team (User, IC Staff, Design Professional and GC)
● A/E Plans must show ICRA elements.
● The GC implements and adheres to ICRA.
● Common elements of ICRA are;- Barriers
- Negative Exhaust
- Monitoring and documentation

AHCA Submissions Types
Exemption Verification
Cursory Review (CRU)aka Desktop Review
Stand-up (PU, CDU) Stage I, II, III
Mail-in
- an e-mailed request for a determination that the project is
exempt from agency review.
- an e-mailed request for a determination that the project does not
require further agency review.
- an in-person meeting with ACHA’splan reviewers to present plans. Can
be preliminary (PDU) or construction documents (CDU).
- Delivering 100% Construction documents plans and specs to AHCA
by mail or courier for a 60 calendar day plan review.
AHCA Submissions - RequirementsF l orida Statute 59A-3.080
No construction can take place without AHCA approval.
Site Work or Early Demo, can take place if a Stage II preliminary review has been approved along with signed and sealed Demo or Site documents. Requires a letter form facility holding Agency harmless for any changes.
Submission of an ICRA form.
Only Florida registered Design Professionals having firm registration with DBPR except for those practicing as sole proprietor.
Plans may be submitted for review in stages (I, II, III). Only Stage III is mandatory.
Best practice: Become f amiliar with 59A-3 and AHCA requirements listed in website;
FLrules.org & ahca.myflorida.com
9/30/2019
14
AHCA Submissions & Forms - CRU
CRU has an Exemption Verification Option used for off-site outpatient facilities not offering surgical services or invasive treatment nor connected to hospital utilities.
Desk Review usually involves projects in any occupancy that are connected to hospital utilities; such as offices or non-clinical renovations. Summiting 100% CD’s and clear narrative helps expediting.
Submit application via email to; [email protected] Scope Narrative cover letter by a Design Professional. No fee required.
Expect a determination response via email within 7-10 calendar days.
AHCA Submissions & Forms – Stand-up
A Stand-up Plan Review is used for renovation projects typically up to 3,000 square feet in any occupancy. Larger projects at the agency prerogative if it can be reviewed within a 2 hour period or if the review is preliminary.
The request can be be of preliminary type (Stage I or II) (SDU) for large projects, but usually is 100% CDs (CDU) and best suited for imaging, including interventional, hybrid, clinical, equipment (HVAC) or Nurse Call replacements. Design Professional advises Owner on best track for submission based onOwner’s scope and schedule.
Expect approval for construction with comments. Do not start construction without official letter.
9/30/2019
15
AHCA Submissions & Forms – Stand-up
A Stand-up Plan Review is also beneficial when an early demolition or site permit is needed. However, the project needs to receive a Stage II preliminary approval prior to submission of the early demo package.
A Stage I review is recommended for large and/or complicated projects.
The early demo plans can be presented at Stage II but must be submitted to Tallahassee with the Stage II preliminary AHCA approval letter with a hold harmless letter from Owner.
Expect approval for early demo with comments. Do not start construction without official AHCA letter.
Best practice: Design Prof essional makes sure the request f or $2,000 AHCA check and ICRA f orm has been made to the Owner well in adv ance of Stand-up. Conf irms with Owner the check is cut, and who will bring it to the Plan Rev iew Meeting.
Schedule Stand-ups a early as possible, backlog continues to grow.
Engage AHCA early in design process, do not wait until Stand-up to ask questions.
AHCA Submissions & Forms – Stand-up
A Stand-up Plan Review is scheduled by the Architect by calling your OPC Team secretary to secure date and follow-up with e-mail request, along with a Scope Narrative cover letter by a Design Professional, including Team List and a key plan to;
Your AHCA’s region secretary
Although the Stand-up can be scheduled by Architect, Engineer or Owner, OPC prefers the architect as a single point of contact for scheduling.
Fee: $2,000.00 check.
9/30/2019

AHCA Submissions & Forms: Mail-in
A Mail-in Plan Review is a submission of drawings, either preliminary or 100% construction documents. Overnight the request with transmittals and return receipt, along with Functional Program. Include a Scope Narrative cover letter by a Design Professional, including Team List and ICRA form to Tallahassee offices;
Fee: $2,000.00 check.
Best practice: Architect secures a Stand-up date f rom AHCA’s OPC as soon as project scope is approv ed by Owner.
Best practice: Design Prof essional documents that all packages hav e been receiv ed and logged by AHCA, and a response date is secured.
AHCA Submissions & Forms: Mail-in
A Mail-in Plan Review period consists of 60 calendar days.
Expect approval with comments if project has received preliminary approval.
On some cases the project is disapproved in mail-in plan review, in which case the 60 day plan review for re-submission applies.
Fee Note: If the $2,000 check was submitted for a Stage I or II Stand-up, no further plan review fees are applicable.
Best practice: Design Prof essional communicates with AHCA rev iewers at interv als during rev iew to mitigate any salient issues.

What is a Functional Program Narrative
● The primary purpose of the functional program shall be to communicate the owner’s intent for the project to the designers of record as a basis for design at the initiation of the project.
9/30/2019
28
What is a Functional Program Narrative
● The narrative is required for every project except for minor alterations not changing the facility function of character. Life safety upgrades or equipment change-outs are exempt.
● New in 2018;- 1.2-2.2.5.1 The clinical and support areas affected by the
project shall be identified.
- 1.2-2.2.7.2 Relevant operational circulation patterns, including movement of staff, patients and their companions, members of the public, and materials and equipment
- 1.2-3 Space Program- A space program shall be provided that contains a list
organized by department or other functional unit that shows
each room in the proposed project, indicating its size by gross floor area (DGSF) and clear floor area and citing relevant
paragraph numbers(s) from this document.
How to write a Program Narrative
● Follow the nomenclature and numbering from The Guidelines
● Provide an executive summary of the program
● State the purpose of the project
● Construction Type/Occupancy and Building Systems
● Project Components and Scope
● Indirect Support Functions
● Operational Requirements
9/30/2019

How to write a Program Narrative
● Sample Section showing format
How to write a Program Narrative
Best practice: Architect
prov ides an outline to owner f or v alidation and assists owner who is ultimately responsible for the project intent.
It is the most important piece of documentation in AHCA plan review.
If it s not done properly and clearly can lead to confusion and delay in plan approval.
The length and complexity of the functional program will vary greatly depending on project scope.
The functional program for a small simple project might consist of a simple sketch or a description of a few sentences.
The functional program can be used as a supplement to the construction documents; it is not intended to be approved by the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
The governing body may delegate documentation of the functional program to the architect or another consultant.
