A collaborative approach with stakeholders, detailed knowledge of healthcare facilities and operations, along with careful planning can expedite the design and construction process.
Key stakeholders include patients/family, owners, operations, administration, clinicians, facilities staff, clinicians and donors.
Understanding and including facility operations and patient flow in initial programming discussions helps the design team address critical issues that might be missed.
