The data contained in the MIL-STD-1691 is a valuable tool allowing
the MHS to more clearly express basic conceptual intent in the
planning and programming of a project. This allows the planning
and programming team to develop parametric cost estimates for
associated medical equipment and furniture requirements; and
allows the design team to address general design requirements
early in the conceptual phases of design. The medical equipment
program to this level of detail supports specificity for more focused
and informed architectural concept design. In addition it supports
earlier engineering design analysis of alternatives having fewer
variances of unknowns relating to medical equipment and
furniture.
Access to the non-public elements of the online database requires
membership in the MAX.gov group “DoD MHS – Military Standard
1691 (AGY-DOD-MHS.MILSTD1691)”.
