Desk Space Planning — Expert Answer

How should desk space in a physician examination room be planned?

Physician examination room desks (small workstations in clinical exam rooms) have very specific constraints: the desk must be positioned so the physician can face both the patient and the computer simultaneously — a side-mounted wall desk at 30"–36" high works well; the workstation must allow enough space for the exam table plus physician movement; and the desk should not create an obstacle between physician and patient. ADA-compliant clearances must be maintained throughout. Most exam room desks are custom-built millwork, but standard compact corner desks sometimes work for small conversions.
