I don’t understand why Part II wouldn’t apply.
517.10 Applicability
(A) Applicability Part II shall apply to patient care areas of all health care facilities.
(B) Not Covered Part II shall not apply to the following:
(1)Business offices, corridors, waiting rooms, and the like in clinics, medical and dental offices, and outpatient facilities.
Why would 517.10(B)(1) be necessary if these facilities were not intended to be included in the requirements at all? The patient care areas would still be required to meet Part II.
