This is true but really doesn’t capture much of the truth. As a first approximation you can split spaces into licensed and unlicensed spaces. The former are the conventional purview of “private practice”. The latter are the typical purview of “hospitals”. These are in quotes because this is merely a correlation and neither concept has a strict definition. Critically without domain knowledge it’s unlikely you’d be able to tell which a “doctors office” is. An unlicensed space is a business with all the usual obligations and the doctor is a doctor with all the usual obligations. When you move to the practice of medicine to a “hospital” (again as a licensing and finance idea which is separable from a sort of basic idea of building X) all that comes along but now with an additional regulatory overlay. Big picture this doesn’t change much about the Ada except to say that many medical practices are happening in spaces where the Ada is just the beginning.
