Proposal Period Opens for 2026 FGI Guidelines

The proposal period for the 2026 FGI Guidelines revision cycle has opened, and ends Friday, June 30. The proposal period is an opportunity to recommend changes to the 2022 Guidelines.

During the proposal period, FGI encourages all users of the Guidelines documents to suggest where language could be improved for clarity, outdated requirements should be removed, or new types of facilities should be added. Proposals should support clinical practices, infection prevention measures and minimum design requirements for additional and evolving care spaces to advance safe and effective patient and resident healthcare.

The FGI proposal site is accessible at fgiguidelines.net. Interested parties may submit opinions supporting or opposing proposals until the end of the proposal period.

Once the proposal period has closed, proposals and opinions will be reviewed and voted on by the 2026 Health Guidelines Revision Committee. Proposals approved by the HGRC will be incorporated into the draft 2026 Guidelines for hospitals; outpatient facilities; and residential health, care, and support facilities, to be released for public review and comment next summer.
