Healthcare Facilities

Mapping the Owner's Objectives
Tuesday, April 14, 2009

Are you a company stakeholder or owner?  Ever been frustrated with the design and construction process on a facility?

Too often there is a rush to design and construction before the myriad of complex issues facing the owners have been clearly defined.  Documenting the owners' objectives is the process of identifying with clarity what are the owners' expected outcomes for the facility, before the design process begins.

Here's how you do it.  There are 10 key components that define the owners' objectives for a hospital facility.  It is critical to invest a small amount of time clarifying the owners' expectations in each of these key areas.

  1. Strategic Purpose/Mission
  2. Patient Experience
  3. Targeted Operational Cost
  4. Targeted Capital Cost
  5. Targeted Schedule
  6. Brand Impact
  7. Public Image
  8. Culture Support
  9. Function
  10. Productivity

Understanding these core components provides architects, engineers, designers and contractors with an optimum level of clarity to ensure the facility will meet the owners' expected outcomes.

The next step in reducing hospital operational costs and increasing revenues is to collaborate with the user.  Check out A Key to Solving Critical Hospital Operational Challenges in our next blog.
