The starting point of a successful healthcare construction project should always be a clear execution plan, according to a blog on the Hospital Build & Infrastructure website.
"There should be a clear benefits proposition that can be tested against the present operation, and then once the project is completed. This sounds trite, but too often this stage is completed in a superficial level of detail to be able to audit outcomes and for all parties to be clear about strategic direction," wrote Conor Ellis of EC Harris/Arcadis.
The blog examines some of the main principles that help define outstanding outcomes, including:
• Improving clinical care and governance
• Achieving efficient asset management
• Securing FM and procurement savings by reducing hospitals performance variation
• Encouraging greater collaboration between hospitals, clinics and all stakeholders
• Change public behaviors via health education
The last two are relatively self-explanatory but require integration in program design and communication, according to the article.
