Both F&E and IT (F&E/IT) planning is therefore integral to healthcare facility planning, and the management of its procurement and installation requires careful coordination with the facility construction and commissioning activities.  \nThis chapter describes the organizational roles and responsibilities for managing the related activities across the project’s life-cycle to successfully integrate F&E/IT within the health facility. The general outline for this chapter is as follows:  \n􀁸 Organizational Roles and Responsibilities;  \n􀁸 Equipment Classification;  \n􀁸 Capital Project Eligibility Criteria;  \n􀁸 Business Case Development;  \n􀁸 Project Organization and Communication;  \n􀁸 Program Delivery Equipment Plans;  \n􀁸 Financial Administration;  \n􀁸 Grant Processes;  \n􀁸 Program Delivery Equipment Installation Framework:  \n􀁸 Diagnostic Imaging (DI); and  \n􀁸 IT.  \n7.1 Organizational Roles and Responsibilities  \nA detailed F&E/IT RASCI matrix attached as Appendix 13 describes each of the Parties’ roles, responsibilities and accountabilities concerning the planning, procurement, installation, and commissioning of F&E/IT. Although this section summarizes key responsibilities, the reader should consult the RASCI for greater detail regarding the variety of activities that occur throughout the project life cycle. The key high-level organizational responsibilities and accountabilities follow.  \n7.1.1 Tri-Party Oversight  \nThe Joint Operations Committee and the Joint Steering Committee provide oversight and issue resolution associated with the planning and delivery of the health capital projects (see Chapter 4.0) . AHS, HEALTH and INFRA are represented on both committees.  \nThe Project Steering Committee provides the guidance and issue resolution as outlined in section 4.1.3. The Committee also assists in ensuring F&E and IT requirements are appropriately managed through the lifecycle of the project.  \n7.1.2 Alberta Health Services  \nAHS is responsible for the following:  \n􀁸 paying all costs and expenses, for equipment delivered by AHS, related to the F&E/IT planning, procurement, delivery, coordination of installation, testing and commissioning of the approved program delivery equipment within the approved budget commensurate with the terms of the F&E/IT Grant Funding Agreement;  \n􀁸 selecting the technical solutions and specifications for program delivery equipment that will achieve the clinical or programmatic operating objectives;  \n􀁸 communicating all equipment-to-facility integration requirements to the Project Manager to facilitate the design and construction of space that supports equipment installation;  \n􀁸 defining the project’s IT system requirements and for procuring, delivering, installing and commissioning of IT systems that is not delivered through the construction contract;  \n􀁸 reporting the status of the F&E/IT budget and forecast cash requirements to INFRA in accordance with the provisions of the Grant Funding Agreement;  \n􀁸 returning any surplus funds to the GoA following the completion of the F&E/IT financial activity. (This may occur subsequent to the building warranty period); and  \n􀁸 funding the costs of the ongoing repair, upgrading and replacement of an operating facility’s F&E and IT from their facility operating budgets .  \n7.1.3 Alberta Health  \nAt the time of approving the Business Case and the Functional Program, HEALTH will also approve of the furnishings, equipment and IT list to ensure alignment with the approved clinical program requirements. HEALTH will also approve the budget allocated for the furnishings, equipment and IT procurement (i.e. baseline budget) . In addition, INFRA and HEALTH will review the annual, or ongoing, equipment plans for furni","cbCaimkpLi1uvVQo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimkpLi1uvVQo","pdf",324945,10,27,"English","# 7.0 Furniture, Equipment and Information Technology\n## Organizational Roles and Responsibilities\n### Tri-Party Oversight\n### Alberta Health Services\n### Alberta Health\n### INFRA\n## Equipment Classification","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of planning F\\u0026E/IT in a healthcare facility capital project?\",\"answer\":\"F\\u0026E/IT planning supports clinical needs and ensures procurement, installation, and commissioning are coordinated with facility construction and commissioning activities.\"},{\"question\":\"Which committees provide oversight and issue resolution for health capital project planning and delivery?\",\"answer\":\"The Joint Operations Committee and the Joint Steering Committee provide oversight and issue resolution for planning and delivery.\"},{\"question\":\"How is funded F\\u0026E classified in the capital project budget?\",\"answer\":\"Funded F\\u0026E is classified into Building Systems Equipment and Program Delivery Equipment.\"}]","7 - Furniture, Equipment and Information Technology | PDF",1789173772,9]
