Presently designing an outpatient facility with type B occupancy (2018 FGI guidelines apply) and the facility has a few procedure rooms. This facility is not part of the hospital occupancy, but is physically connected to the hospital building. The 2014 NEC 517.10(B) states that outpatient facilities are not required to follow Part II - "Wiring and Protection" but I'm concerned not putting critical power receptacles at the patient bed locations.

Is it safe to assume an outpatient facility with type B occupancy would not follow any of Article 517, even though it is connected to the hospital?

Thanks!
 
Read 517.10 again, it does not say what you think it said.

517.10 (B) - " Part II shall not apply to the following:"

517.10 (B) (2) - "Business offices, corridors, waiting rooms, and the like in clinics, medical and dental offices, and outpatient facilities"

I'm guessing you're implying (B)(2) only applies to those certain rooms within an outpatient facility, and not the entire outpatient facility?

Correct, "and the like" are the key words for the section.
