Master Facility Development Planning

While aging facilities and changes in health care delivery can impact a health care organization’s long-term facility strategy, there are a number of additional issues that can also affect that plan. In order to ensure that your facility development strategy is not only affordable but also provides the proper physical elements for long-term success and operational efficiency, you need to consider:

• Changing consumer/patient expectations
  
• Increasing demand for high-tech services in a rapidly changing technological environment
  
• Decreasing capital funds
  
• Maintenance of outdated facilities that add to operating costs
  
• Return on investment of capital
  
• Long-term flexibility of space
  
• Requirements of HIPAA compliance
  
• Site circulation and zoning issues

To help your organization achieve its expansion and business goals, the Health Care Services Team of Hosking Klute Healthcare provides Master Facility Development Planning services.

Comprised of experienced health care consultants who understand the changing trends in health care and their impact on facilities, our team helps organizations establish and manage an integrated development process that considers a comprehensive list of requirements and achieves an improved return on investment.

We offer an integrated approach to facility development master planning that allows your organization to better leverage its physical assets and provide cost-effective and convenient services for its patients. Customizable to the unique needs of your organization, our approach builds upon these key elements:

• Assistance in understanding historical utilization and projecting future volume scenarios, and understanding the impact on facility needs
  
• Incorporation of desired operating models into facility development
  
• Detailed functional evaluation of existing facilities, including operational impact of existing conditions, remaining useful life, HIPAA concerns and life-safety issues

• Qualitative prioritization of facility issues and opportunities
  
• Integration of strategic vision into the facility development process

Once we have developed this foundation, we then work with your organization to provide a detailed road map for development that will allow the organization to adapt as the market and health care changes.
