THIS YEAR
We will be focusing on the monumental changes that are taking place to the 2026 edition of the FGI Guidelines. The FGI Guidelines, that originally grew out of the Hill-Burton Act of 1946, have a rich and long history in the development of minimum design and construction standards for health care facilities. For almost 80 years the FGI Guidelines have continued to evolve and have now been adopted by almost all of the states as the primary health care minimum design and construction code. As a result of these continued applications, the 2026 edition will not only be focused on providing the very latest minimum design standards, but will also be revising its name from the FGI “Guidelines” to the FGI “Code”.
THE FGI CODES
This three volume set of codes is currently being revised with the help of hundreds of health care experts from across the nation and will be adopted by Florida as soon as possible. To assist you in learning and understanding all of the revisions that are being made to these codes, we will have many of the people who have served on the Healthcare Guidelines Revision Committee (HGRC) speak directly to these revisions and give you a first-look and intimate knowledge of these health care facility codes.
MAIN SPEAKER SESSIONS
The Main Speaker sessions will focus directly on the history, overall structure, and major changes to each volume. The breakaway sessions will dig deeper into the revisions so you will have a complete understanding of issues that may have been unclear in the areas of Architecture, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Facility Management, and Fire Safety.
