Some of the standards you need to look at is NFPA 99 "Health Care Facilities" and standard 101 The "Life Safety Code" and requirements of joint commission.

Throw in NFPA 110 and of course NFPA 70, there is also the AIA Guidelines for Design and Construction of Health Care Facilities which will help as well as this CDC document

Not a code but a good source, especially if your starting off to do the minimum.

What about USA codes? Are not there any regulations directives etc to which we can access freely ? I think NEC might include these codes perhaps true? I wonder also what is the content of NFPA , only fire protection ? if So it would contain the parts related to fire protection true? I wonder if there is any special codes issued by the government about only this issue , Pls let me know about the codes to which I can have recourse whenever I need while planning a say hospital project...
