Healthcare construction is adjusting to meet providers' needs with off-campus, outpatient development activity far exceeding on-campus, inpatient projects, according to an article on the Medical Construction & Design website.
The healthcare sector is seeing a range of outpatient real estate development, including medical office buildings, physician office buildings, freestanding emergency departments, rehabilitation facilities and imaging centers.
The definition of “medical office building” is also changing. New facilities are being designed based on the “medical home” model, with a range of practices and services sharing spaces such as check-in/check-out and administration.
The prevailing strategy is to bring healthcare to the consumer in suburban and other non-central locations.
