Agency Specific Requirements

VHA

Richmond Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC)

This appendix contains Agency Specific Requirements that must be included in the construction and operation of the leased premises. These requirements supersede any conflicting requirements in the standard lease template.

The Joint Commission (TJC)

The Lessor’s project team must review the VAMC’s local TJC inspection reports to determine what if any facility requirements need to be included in the lease project. First consideration should be to modify the local plan if possible and reasonable to eliminate facility requirements. Example – we are not following VA Standards, but a local TJC plan may state that the environment of care is designed per VA standards; this local policy should be rewritten to state environment of care is designed per FGI standards. Lessor shall refer to all TJC standards to ensure they understand and apply all the requirements.

The Agency Specific Requirements (ASRs) do not reduce the minimum requirements contained within the Lease. These ASRs provides specific agency requirements, which may be complementary, more specific, or more stringent than those of the Lease minimum requirements.
