Re: Request for Approval- Acquisition of Surgety Center of Duncanville ($1,226,250)
The p urp ose of this memo is to reques t approval to inves t a total of $1.2 million to acquire a 50.1% ownership p osition in Sutgcry Center of Duncanville ("SCD'') located at 1018 East Wheatland Road in Duncanville, Texas, as well as acquire the rights to initiate a new management agreement with the surgery center. The purchas e would be conswnmated by Texas Health Ventures G-roup, ILC ("THVG"). , With your approval, we plan to close by this Friday October 22, with an eff ec tive of November 1, 2010.
Background SCD commenced op era tions in 198.5 and is afour operating room, one procedure room facility . SCD's AAAHC a ccre dita ion was ren ewed in May 2009 and expires on May 15, 2012. t
SCD is owned 41.01% by Symbion, wh o is also the cutte nt management company for the c enter , and 58.99% by physician investors. The facility is located approximately tlu:ee miles from THVG's DeSoto facility, the North Texas Surgery Center. It is anticipated that we will be able to capitalize gi on syner es available between the two centers and eventually merge the Duncanville facility into the ( DeSoto facility within twelve months subsequent to closing se e further iliscussion below).
sen o cc upi es 10,000 square feet of leased space in a building owned by art independent landlord . The original tenn of the lease expires in Febtu:u:y 2013 with two five-'year re new al options as cunent ly written. The lease includes a rental rate equal to $33.10 per sq. ft or $27,583 per month and currently includes an annual increase equal to 3%.

The cente r currently has $250 thousand of equipment financing debt with Key Bank, De Lage Land en and Siemens. In conn�ction with the tritnsaction, we will he putting a $450 thousand non recourse line of credit in place with Siemens for any potential cash needs during the initial transition months. Therefore, it is anticip ated that, as of the closing of the transaction or shortly thereafter, the ce nter could have up to $700 thousand. of debt outstanding. All of the existing debt will be as signed prior to closing.
Valuation
VMG conducted an ind ependent valuation of the cen ter and determined the valu e of the cunent equity to be $1,250,000 and the value of the management fee to be $600 th ousand . Our capital contribution will result in the ownerships noted above.
As p a r t of this transaction, a 1 0 mile non-comp e te covenant is included for all selling parties for tlrree years following close or two yeats after ceasing to own an interest in the center.
The facility will be chatged a 7% management fee with USPI remining 64.3% of the management fee and the remainder being paid to Baylor. The governing board will be made up of eigh t members, fout from THVG and four physician representatives. m Each me ber will vote according to ownership represented.
Capital Priorities
We .ranked this acquisi ti on as number six on our capital priorities and give it a high strate c, gi high upside and medium risk racing. The center .is strategic to THVG as there is an. opportunity for consolidation within the market. The center has high upside with access to THVG's operational oversight. 'The risk is medium, which taring ta ke s into consideration the minimal investment for the transaction offset by the risks ass o ci ated with the potencial merger into DeSoto.
Due Diligenc e
• Physician arrangements - The center has an anesthesia contract and a medical director agreement and we will retain the saine anesthesia group/medical director and terms. No other physician arrangements exist.
• Clinical- Dr. Zarin and Jeannie Montgomery conducted the clinical due diligence and noted the following issues, all of which we believe can be addressed. The diligence report indicated that anesthesia. often leaves the center prior to the time that the p atient is discharged. We are discussing wjth Dr. Wasserman and will implement pr ocedu,t:cs to ensure that this doc s not carry forward. The center cs sentiilyl does not have a formal quality program in place which will be

immediately addressed b y USPrs clinical team. The repor also notes that the equipment t is dated and the facility will require capital improvements if we dq not merge with DeSoto.
• Pain Screens - The pain screens have been run with no excep tio ns noted.
• Coding/Billing- Gale Gonzalezteviewed the bu siness office functions and while concerns were rais ed in regard to the lack of attention the business office has been receiving, all deficiencies found can be, corrected going forward. We will transition the billing and collections process to the Dallas CSO withih 45 days of close; In addition, we will transition the center' s accounts payab l e processing to the CSO as soon as possible . Staffing changes may also be :Qeeded for the center but this will need to be reviewed further in connection with any tnerger with DeSoto. Carolyn Exley and Gale Gow.alez will evaluate c hanges needed in the business office staff post closing in con nection with any po te ntial transition to the DeSoto fa cility. The coding audit score was 81% on CPT co des and an 89% on ICD-9 co des, which alth ough not stellar, is not a cause for major alarm. 1be coding will transfer to the CSO with the oth er business office functions.
• Managed Care- Currendy, the center is .almost fully contri"c te d The plan i s for the center to be converted to THVG contracts starting at close and we anticipate that the center will be fully converted by month seven of the fust year .
Financial Projection§
We have prepare d two pro forma financial projections. The first s cenario assumes SCD stays as a freestanding center, independent of DeSoto. The second assumes SCD stays freestanding for only one yeat and then merges with DeSoto.
Scenario 1
We have projected yeat; 1 EBITDA at $602 th ousand, which in cludes management fe es to 'l'HVG of $307 th ousand . lbis assumes no additional physician recruitment for year 2.

While revenues of the Company's unconsolidated facilities are not recorded as revenues by the Company, equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates is a significant portion of the Company's overall earnings. To help analyze results of operations, management uses systemwide operating measures such as systemwide revenue growth, which includes revenues of both consolidated and unconsolidated facilities. In addition to overall systemwide revenue growth, the Company calculates growth rates and operating margins for the facilities that were operational in both the current and prior year periods, a group the Company refers to as same store or same-facility. This group also consists of both consolidated and unconsolidated facilities. At September 30, 2014, 155 of the 219 facilities the Company operated were not consolidated. -MORE- Sworn Record 0244 United Surgical Partners Announces Third Quarter 2014 Results Page 2 November 5, 2014 For the third quarter, the systemwide revenues of the facilities operated by the Company increased 11% on a year-over-year basis. On a same-store basis, systemwide net revenue increased 5% in the third quarter compared with the prior year period. For the first nine months of2014, the systemwide revenues of the facilities operated by the Company increased 5% on a year-over-year basis. On a same-store basis, systemwide net revenue increased 3% for the first nine months of the year. Development Activity The Company acquired an interest in three facilities during the third quarter and one additional facility following quarter end. The Company expects to add two to four additional facilities in the remainder of2014. Conclusion Commenting on the results, William H. Wilcox,USPI's chief executive officer, said, "The third quarter represented our strongest same-store volume performance since2012, and we are pleased with the sequential improvement in operating and financial performance. We also continue to add new, high quality facilities and health system partners to our portfolio and anticipate an active fourth quarter from a development perspective." The live broadcast ofUSPI's third quarter conference call will begin at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 5, 2014. A 30-day online replay will be available approximately an hour following the conclusion of the live broadcast. A link to these events can be found on the Company's website at www.uspi.com.

The Company believes EBITDA and EBITDA less noncontrolling interests are important measures for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. EBITDA, which is computed by adding operating income, depreciation and amortization, and net Joss (gain) on deconsolidations, disposals and impairments, is commonly used as an analytical indicator within the healthcare industry and also serves as a measure of leverage capacity and debt service ability. EBITDA Jess noncontrolling interests, which is computed by subtracting net income attributable to noncontrolling interests from EBITDA, adjusts both years' EBITDA to reflect that the Company does not own 100% of each facility. EBITDA and EBITDA Jess noncontrolling interests should not be considered as measures of financial performance under GAAP, and the items excluded from EBITDA and EBITDA Jess noncontrolling interests are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Because EBITDA and EBITDA Jess noncontrolling interests are not measurements determined in accordance with GAAP and are thus susceptible to varying calculation methods, EBITDA and EBITDA Jess noncontrolling interests as presented by USPI may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. -END- Sworn Record 0248 EXHIBIT C Sworn Record 0249 Transition Plan Topics- Surgety Center of Duncanville Leadership Team: Sr. Vice or Market President: J ohnny Bond Region:al Vice President: Carolyn Exley Development Team: Jarod Moss, Shannon Kinder, Evie Miller PVP: Rob Stahler Hot Areas- • Focusing on potential transition to DeSoto facility • Successfully hiring and/or replacing key personnel. • Transition of billing and collections to CSO • Transition of accounts payable to CSO • There is some risk that unknown liabilities may arise as a result of vendor payables not being properly recorded. • Maximize new contracts by timely communication with partners about effective dates. On sit e fust week- Carolyn Exley will be the operations lead this week. Business Office- We will transition the billing and collections process to the Dallas CSO within 45 days of dose.

You are currently in default of the Lease Agreement as a result of the surgery center having been closed and your abandonment of the leased premises. In addition, it has come to our attention that certain fixtures and equipment, including, but not limited to the generator, have been removed from the leased premises. Pursuant to the terms of the Lease Agreement, in the event that the Tenant abandons or vacates the leased premises for a period of seven days or more, whether or not Tenant is in monetary default, an event of default occurs under the terms of the Lease . During an event of default, the Tenant is not authorized to remove any trade fixtures or movable equipment or furniture from the leased premises. In addition, any property affixed to the floor, walls or ceiling, including, but not limited to, the generator, all ceiling and wall mounted surgical lights, medical gas lines and the like, are always to remain on the leased premises and are to be surrendered with the leased premises at the expiration of the lease. The generator, together with all other property removed from the leased premises, must be returned as soon as possible . In addition to the removal of these items resulting in an additional breach of the lease, we believe that the absence of this equipment will impair our ability to attract an appropriate replacement tenant for the leased premises. In addition, at this time you still have all keys to the leased premises which must be returned so that we can make the leased premises available to prospective tenants for inspection. We would appreciate your immediate response to these requests so that we can identify a replacement tenant for the leased premises, which may reduce Baylor Surgicare at Duncanville, LLC ' s obligations under the Lease Agreement. As you are aware, we have already been contacted by a couple of potential tenants regarding the surgery center. It is imperative that both of us cooperate in an effort to find a replacement tenant, which will be in the best interest of all parties.

Dear Sir or Madam: I represent Patricia Hughes in connection with claims that are being made against Baylor Surgicare at Duncanville, LLC and Texas Health Ventures Group, LLC for breach of material covenants under the referenced Lease by B aylor Surgicare at Duncanville, LLC, including without limitation, the vacation and abandonment of the leased premises in violation of paragraph 24 of the Lease and in failing to maintain the necessary building systems as required under paragraph 1 4 of the Lease. It is particularly objectionable that Baylor Surgicare at Duncanville, LLC failed to maintain the facility ' s generator (that was owned by my client), removed it, gave it to a third party, and thereafter took steps to insure the closure of the surgery center. Knowing the consequences of such action, it is hard to believe that Baylor Surgicare at Duncanville, LLC ' s conduct was not malicious with designs of obtaining a competitive { W057 1 480. 1 } H U G H E S 0004 7 1 Sworn Record 0336 ARMBRUST & BROWN, PLLC Page2 advantage over a successor tenant. As you are aware and have acknowledged, these acts and omissions have compromised my client's ability to procure a replacement tenant without significant modifications to the space for the necessary licensing. At this time it is anticipated that the modifications to the premises alone will exceed $1,000,000.00. In response to Brandy Dollenger's January 31, 2013 letter, my client does not consent to installation of a new generator or modifications to the premises, which will more than likely further disrupt my client's efforts to mitigate the inevitable loss. If you have any interest in trying to assist in the mitigation of my client's losses, please advise; otherwise, I am instructed to initiate a lawsuit. Now that you have notice of a potential lawsuit, please takes steps to place a litigation hold on any documents or other evidence relating to the surgery center. Very truly yours, M� Mark L.

We have noted the arch itectural deficiencies with bold text and corres ponding plan note numbering in the context of relevant TDSHS code requirements : TDSHS ASC Rules (State AHJ): (d) Spatial requirements. {1) Administration and public areas . (A) Entrance. Entrances shail be located at grade level , be accessible to indivi duals with disabilities, and be protected against inclement weather from the point of passenger loading/unloading to the building entrance. [1] The existing ca nopies do not protect passenger from inclement weather s i nce they do not extend out over wh ere a car could pull u p . (B) Waiting area.

Arlington, Phone: H U G H ES 00089 Sworn Record 0407 following rooms and items : (iii) access to potable drinking water. (2] Assume user Will provide bottled water since there is no water cooler. (F) Medical records area. The medical records area shall have adequate space for reviewing, dictating, optical disc), the medical records area shall have adequate space for transcribing records in the electronic sorti11g, or recording records. If electronic imaging devices are employed (i.e., microfilm, digital, or format. Medical record storage space shal l be located-within a secure designated area under direct visual supervision of administrative staff. [3] Th e Medical Records area is not secure; it is open to th e remainder of the Recepti on 1 Administrative area. (G) General storage room. (i) A minimum of30 square feet per operating room shall be provided exclusive of soiled holding, sterile supplies, clean storage, drug storage, locker rooms, and surgical equipment storage. General storage may be located in one or more rooms or closets, and shal l be l ocated outside of the patient treatment areas_ [4] This area of 1 20 square feet does not exist; it would need to be provided "outside of the patient treatment areas" per the rules. (H) Wheelchair storage space or alcove. Storage space for wheelchairs shall be provided and shall be out of the direct line of traffic . [5] Th e loveseat needs to be removed from this alcove. {2) Engineering services and equipment areas. Equipment rooms with adequate space shall be provided for mechanical and electrical equipment. These areas shal! be separate from public, patient, and staff areas. [6] The engineering areas are accessed through the Supply Room . A door from the exterior may be required to satisfy the State. (3) Examination room. An examination room is not required, but when provided, the room shall have: [7] There are several challenges with this room . First of all, the plan labels this room as an "exam room" but the s!gnage on the door states it is a "special procedures." Exam rooms do not have gases (per Table 3 of the Rules); this room has gases on the wal l . If this room appears to be somethi n g more than "exam," the State will inquire of the owners how it is to be used . Second, if this room requires gurney access, the corridor leading to this room is not 8' wide. Third, a toilet may not be permitted to be accessed d i rectly off. of this room ( bas ed on previo us conversations with the State on a differe nt project.} If the use of this room requires the patient to prep and recover, additional stations will need to be provided in the appropriate areas . If this room is a "Treatment Room" in reality, there are issues as well - including the req uirement for an additional soi!ed utility room which can be accessed from the non-steri!e side {see below). Rebecca Read called back from the State and left me a detailed message. The following is added based on this information : The Exam Room can not have direct access to a Toilet as it currently does for Ste;ling Barnett Little, Inc. 1 000 Ballpark Way, Suite 200 Arlington, TX 7601 1 Phone: 81 7.792.2100 Fax: 817.46 1 . 1 362 Page 2 of 1 1 H U G H ES 00090 Sworn Record 0408 infection control reasons. DSHS does not have a specific fine item for "Special Procedure " rooms; however they do have some specific requirements if the ASC has one even though one of them is not minimum square footage or clearance. A seamless floor and hard ceiling are required, A thennostat and humidistat gages need to be provided in the room. Two low air returns are required, and air supply must come from the ceiling. There can be no drain or waste line above the ceiling unless there is a secondary protection system in place; likewise, it can not be located beneath an exercise or recreation room (we're safe from the latter, I don 't have a clue about the fonner.) If digital equipment Is used, a 2-p.ane/ film illuminator is not required; if digital equipment is not used, a 2-panel film illuminator in the room is minimum. Four receptacles have to be on the critical branch as well as one nonnal outlet. With regards to medical gases, a Special Procedures Room needs at least 2 Oxygen, 2 Vacuum, 1 Air The Special Procedure room needs to be positive . . . and it needs at least one recovery station. If this room is used for Endoscopy, there are similar requirements . . . and a Endoscopy work mom is needed (probably near the Endo Room rather than assuming dirty scopes are taken through to the Decontam Room within the Surgical Suite. The tables in the back of th e ASC rules book do address specific requirements for med gas and air flow which would need to be addressed. So, our "owner" needs to tei! us how we are to look at this room that is labeled "Exam" on the plan but "Special Procedure " on the door before we can really cite deficiencies unless you are willing to cite both . . . (A) a minimum clear floor area of at least 80 square feet exclusive of fixed or moveable cabinets, counters, or shelves; and (B) a work cou.1ter with space for writing and a hand washing fixture with hands-free o perable controls. (4) Janitor's closet. In addition to the j anitor's closet exclusive to the surgery suite, a sufficient number ofjanitor's closets shall be provided throughout the faci l ity to maintain a clean and sanitary environment . The closet shal l contain a fioor receptor or service sink and storage space for housekeeping suppiies and equipment. (5) Laboratory. [8] The area desig n ated "blood draw" on the plans is not a separate room ; rather it appea rs to be a n u rse work a rea within the Prep area . if the latter assum pti on is correct, it is assumed that lab servi ces are co ntra cted If the latter assum ption is not true, a . "room" needs to be provided per the code as it is written. (A) General. Laboratory services shall be provided within t h e ASC o r through a contract or other arrangement with a hospital or accredited laboratory. (B) Off-site linen processing. When iinen is processed off site, the following rooms or items shall be provided: Sterling Barnett 'Jttle, Inc. 1000 Ballpark Way, Suiie 200 Arlington, TX 7601 1 Phone: 81 7.792.2100 Fax: 8 1 7 .461 . 1 362 Page 3 of 1 1 H U G H ES 0009 1 Sworn Record 0409 (i) a storage room for clean linen located within the surgical suite. Clean linen storage may be combined with the clean work room; and [9] There is not space within the clean work room in the surgery suite to store linen ; the clean linen closet in the Prep area would need to have shelf I cart for clean linen - right now, there are outdated supplies in this room. (ii) a soiied linen holding �com or area located within the surgical suite. Soiled linen holding may be combined with the soiled workroom. [1 0] The only place to accommodate soiled linen is in the Prep area; it is currently filled with bio-hazardous wastes that need to be removed and stored in separate (nonexistent place). (7) Medical wast.e processing. Space and facilities shall be provided for the safe storage and disposal of waste as appropriate for the material being bandied and in compliance with all applicable rules and regulations. [1 11 This space needs to be provided ; one was not found. (8) Pharmacy. A pharmacy work room or alcove shall be provided and l ocated separate from patient and public areas and under the direct supervision of staff. A work counter, refrigerator, medi cation storage, and locked storage for biologicals and drugs shall be provided. A hand washing fixture with hands-free operable controls shall be located in the pharmacy room or alcove. [12] The pharmacy was locked and could not be accessed. The plans s how there to be a counter with sink in this space, however this could not be confirmed. What was observed was that the corridor to this room was not at least 4' wide and the door was not at least a 3' wide door. From an accessibility perspective, there is not s ufficient door · clearance for this door. (9) Postoperative recovery suite. (B) Postanes1hesia care unit . A minimum of one patient station per operating room, plus one additional station, shall be provided. (i) In a multiple-bed postoperative recovery area, the clearance between the side of a bed/gurney and a walVpartition shall be a m inimum ofthree feet. The clearance between sides ofbeds/gumeys shall be a minimum offour feet six inches. The minimum distance at the foot of the bed/gurney shall not be less than six feet for single load area/room or nine feet for double load area/room. Four feet ofthe passage space at the foot of the bed may be shared between two beds/gurneys. The fixed and moveable cabinets and shelves shall not encroach upon the bed/gurney clear floor space/area. [13] These required clearances do not exist. The primary clearance issue is one of width; therefore the number of stations would need to be reduced fro m 8 to 5, maybe 6 (which would satisfy post-op for OR stations assuming "special procedure" patients are not recovered in this area). {D)Hand washing fixture. One ha..TJd washing fixture with hands -free operable controls shall be provided for every four recovery beds or fraction tlrereof in open wards . Fixtures shall be uniformly distributed. One hand washing fixture shall be provided within each single-bed recovery room. [14] There are not enough handwash i ng fixtures to m eet this ratio. (ii) When an open or ward area for extended observation is provided, the minimum clearance from the bed or recliner to the side wall shall not be less than three feet; and a space offour feet shall be provided 1 000 Ballpark Way, Suite 200 Arlington, TX 760 1 1 Phone: 817.792.2100 Fax: 817.46 1 . 1 362 Sterling Barnett Little, Inc. Page 4 o f 1 1 H U G H ES 00092 Sworn Record 0410 at the foot of each bed or recliner. The minimum clearance between beds or recliners shal l not be less than three feet. [15] Number of recliners will be limited by clearances . (1 0) Preoperative patient holding room. (A) General. A preoperative holding area shall be provided and a.rranged in a one-way trar1ic pattern so that patients entering from outside the surgical suite can change, gown, a."ld move directly into the restricted corridor ofthe surgical suite. The holding area shall be separate from the postoperative recovery suite and the restri cted corridor. (B) Patient station. A minimum of one patient station per operating room shall be provi ded . (1 6] Four are provided for the four operating rooms ; none is provided for the "special procedure" room. (ii) In a multiple-bed preoperative holding area, a minimum area of 60 square feet shall be provided for each patient station. The m it1imum clearance from the gurney or bed to a si dewall shall net be less than three feet A space of four feet shall be provided at the foot of the gurney or bed and the minimum clearance between gurneys or beds shall not be less than four feet six inches . [17]The spacing for stretcher locations on the s outh wall n eeds to be �djusted to meet these clearances and the gurneys can not be wider than 30" (which works for typical stretchers}. (iii) Space shall be made available for storing and securing patient's personal effects . [1 8] There are no lockers provided as indicated on the drawings . (iv) One hand washing fixture w ith hands-free operable controls shall be provided for every four preoperative beds or fraction thereof in open wards. Fixtures shall be uniform ly d istributed. One hand washing fixture shal l be provrded within each single-bed preoperative holding room. [19] The only handwashing fixture i n this area is in the "blood draw" area (see separate note under "Laboratory".) Since the space does not meet laboratory requirements, this sink should suffice; if however, a Laboratory I Blood Draw room is desired by the Owner, an additional handwashlng sink will need to be added to comply. (12) Soiled workroom. fn addition to the soiled workroom provided in the surgical suite, a separate soiled workroom(s) shall be required when a treatment room is provided, except as al lowed in subpa.--agraph (B) ofthis paragraph. (A) Special requirements. The workroom(s) shall contain a clinical sink or equivalent flushing type fixture, work counter, designated space for waste and linen receptacles, and a hand washing fixture with hands-free operable controls. [20J if the "Special P rocedures" Room is really a "Treatment room", a separate Soiled workroom needs to be p rovided to be in com pliance. (B) Shared functions. The soiled workroom required in support of a treatment room may be combined with a surgical suite soiled work room with two means of entry. A separate door into the soi led workroom shall serve a treatment room located outside the surgical suite. (13) S urgical staff clothing change area. 1000 Ballpark Way, Suite 200 Arlington.

These areas shall be arra.'1ged to provide a traffic pattern so that personnel entering from outside the surgical suite can shower, ch�mge, and move directly into the restricted areas of the s-..rcrgi al suite. [21] The male changing room has the correct traffic pattern the female changing room does not. (Females can not m ove directly into the restricted area of the surgical s uite upon exit from this room as there is only one door in and out.) Neither h ave a cceptable showers from an accessi bility perspective. The male room does not have a bench; the bench is the I ncorrect s ize and in the clearance for the shower in the femal e room (accessibility issues from the stance ofTDLR). (B) Surgical staff lounge. When a surgical staff lounge is provided, the lounge shall be located to permit t'le use without leaving the surgical suite and may be accessed from the clothing changing rooms. The surgical staff lounge shall not have direct access from outside the surgical suite. When the lounge is remote from the clothing change rooms, toilet facilities and a hand washing fixture with hands-free operable controls accessible from the lounge shall be provided, [22) It is assumed that the staff lounge provided is not for surgical staff based on the location ofthe door. IF surgical staff were to use this room, they would have to go back through the staff changing rooms into the restricted corridor or relocate th e door to this lounge shuttin g It off from the Recovery area. (14) Sterilizing facilities. A system for sterilizing equipment and supplies shall be provided. Sterilizing procedures may be done on site or off site, or disposables may be used to satisfY functional needs. (A) Off-site sterilizing.

Wheatland Rd in Duncanville, Texas. This ASC is currently not licensed. The team was asked to perform a surface review of the facility and its systems. The intent of this report is to outline the code and operational deficiencies observed d u ring this walk through. It is not a comprehensive review of all systems and no testing, destructive d emo:it!on, etc. was performed. ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS Code Deficiencies �» A fire alarm pull station was not !ocated at the exit from the main Lobby. A pull station was located around the comer in a Corridor, but this may not satisfy the fire marshal. • Fire alarm strobes are not located in the Toilets in the Locker Rooms. • A fire alarm strobe was not located in the Break Room. • There are several rooms that have a light switch controlling normal fixtures and a light switch controlling emerge ncy fixtures installed in the same box with a common cover plate. It should be confirmed that there is a divider in the box and that th e normal and emergency wiring do not occupy the same space. • The 2x4 light fixtu res above the Nurse Station communicate to the above ceiling plenum. • The exterior egress light fixtures only have one lamp. o There is only one light fixture on emergency in Waiting, and lt is at the back of the room. It is possible that a local inspector will require a light cioser to the exit doo r. There are no battery operated emergency lights in the ORs. o There are no light fixtures con nected to normal power in the ORs. • There are no light fixtures connected to normal power in the OR Corridors. • There a re no light fixtures con nected to normal power in the Decontamination rooms. H U G H ES 00 1 00 Sworn Record 0418 Report • The re are no receptacles connected to normal power in the ORs. • There are no receptacles connected to normal power in the OR Corridors . • Dedicated emergency circuits are not provided for each Recovery Bed. • The bed location in 23 Hour only has one emerg ency receptacle and no normal receptacle. • There is BX cable used for circuits connected to the life safety panel. • There is BX cable used for circuits connected to the critical panel. • The fire dampers are connected to the life safety panel. • There is one ATS fo r the life safety and critical and one for the equipment branch in lieu of one ATS for each of the three branches. The gen erator has been removed along with feeders to the emerg ency d istribution panel and the ATSs. • • A generator annun ciator panel is not present at a 24 hour location. Operational Deficiencies • The recessed can fixtures are designed for incandescent lamps and are currently lamped with compact fluorescents. • The 4-way light switches in the back OR Corridor do not work properly. • The fine isolation monitor for OR-2 is not operational. ., The line isolation monitor for OR-4 is not operational. The LIMs for O R-3 and the x-ray isolation panel have been replaced. The LIMs in the other ORs a re likely at the end of their useful life. • • The remote test buttons located in each OR for the x-ray LIM are not operational. • The electrical panels are Federal Pacific and parts will be d ifficult to find. • The main panel is located outside. • The emerg ency distribution panel is located outside. • The nurse call system is beyond its useful life. PLUMBING SYSTEMS • The sinks in the staff and patient Toilets do not have goose neck faucets. • Each bed location in Recovery only has 1 vacu um outlet in lieu of 3. • Tne bed location in 23 hour Recovery does not have medical gas outlets. • The Special Procedure room only has 1 oxygen outlet in lieu of 2. • The Special Procedure room only has 1 vacuum outlet in lieu of 2 . H U G H ES 00 1 0 1 Sworn Record 0419 _______ Report • Only one medical gas master alarm panel was observed . • The medical gas alarm panels did not have pressure gauges. • Non medical air outlets were not observed. However, a medical air com pressor was added in the sterilizer room adjacent to the electrical room. It is dou btfu l that this system meets new non medical air code. • Given the age of the medical gas system and the recent changes in NFPA, it is likely that significant portions of the medical gas system do not meet current code. MECHANICAL SYSTEMS o The Business Office Manag er's Office does not have return air. • The Corridor at the west exit has a 2x2 grille that communicates to the plenum. • Two roof top units that appear to serve non patient space a re located above Recove:-y. Both units are set up for non ducted plenum return and the air path is above the Recovery ceHing. This is unusual and some inspectors may d eem this a code violation. " The light fixtures in the OR suite Corridors are used for plenum return. " A humidistat is not installed in OR-2. • Plexigla s shields have been suspended below the supply air diffusers in the ORs. This creates a large horizontal surface that collects dust and debris and is difficult to keep sterile. it is likely that that distribution pattern of the diffusers is unaccepta ble to the surgeon and support team. O perational Deficiencies • The exhaust fans were not operational. • The hum idifiers are located above the ceilings. This makes maintenance difficult. • The final filters a re located above the ceiling in the supply d uct work. This makes changing filters difficult, and it has to be done in a critical care space like Recovery. • The thermostat in OR-2 is not operational. • The thermostat controlling the unit serving the OR Corridors was not observed. • Rooftop units 6 and 8 serving two of the ORs are beyond their useful life. • Roof top unit 8 has its outside air opening less than 3 feet above the roof. • Roof to;:> units 2 and 9 are beyond their useful life. • The remaining units appear to have been installed in 1 996. They appear to be in good condition but at 1 5 years old, they are nearing the end of their useful l ife .
