How to Get the Hospital Remodel You Need
Wednesday, May 06, 2009

The key to a successful hospital design solution is choosing the right firm.

Avoid the trap of focusing only on saving money on the cost of construction.  The downstream operational costs many times are far greater if the design and construction isn't right.

When you chose the right firm you will walk away with the tools you need to build or remodel a facility that is aimed at reducing hospital operating costs and increasing revenue:

• A variety of planning models
• An assessment of each model for advantages and disadvantages
• On-site meeting with client Leadership Team to present models and assessments, and choose a final Site and Facility Master Plan
• On-site action/implementation planning session to identify all components of the project, their estimated cost, and their schedule.

It is important to search for a firm focused on integrated planning, design and engineering vs. a traditional technical services firm. The former is concerned with achieving the optimum design solution that solves a client's strategic needs, whereas the "technical" firm is focused on optimizing their particular revenue model for their firm.

This will give you a good start.  Of course there's more, but stay tuned.  More tips to come.
