This article describes the practical application of documenting the operational concept and scope of services for military combat hospitals providing joint health service support during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Due to the rapid changes that take place in healthcare in general, and, in particular, in a large, rapidly maturing military theater of operations, a clear operational concept and accurate scope of services is essential for hospital commanders and medical planners. A highly structured, yet flexible collaborative approach to health facility requirements development begins with a clinical concept of operations (CONOPS). Initial, up-front investment of time in the requirements process, and subsequent reviews and revisions result in a definitive description of the clinical and operational requirements. Those requirements in turn become the authoritative source for space, building systems, equipment, functional arrangements, and financial justification. A recent case study highlights the utility of the CONOPS document in translating the necessary clinical capabilities and capacities into facility space and building systems required to support them in a very tight schedule driven process normally not associated with the military construction program and in particular medical projects.
本文描述了记录为伊拉克自由行动期间提供联合卫生服务支持的军事战斗医院的作战概念和服务范围的实际应用。由于总体上医疗保健领域发生了迅速变化，特别是在一个规模庞大、迅速成熟的军事行动战区，明确的作战概念和准确的服务范围对于医院指挥官和医疗规划人员至关重要。一种高度结构化但灵活的协作方法用于卫生设施需求开发，始于临床作战概念（CONOPS）。在需求过程中最初投入大量时间，以及随后的审查和修订，会得出临床和作战需求的明确描述。这些需求进而成为空间、建筑系统、设备、功能安排和财务合理性的权威来源。最近的一个案例研究突出了CONOPS文件在将必要的临床能力转化为设施空间和建筑系统方面的效用，这些设施空间和建筑系统需要在通常与军事建设项目尤其是医疗项目无关的非常紧张的时间表驱动的过程中支持这些能力。
