Technology has become a critical component in every aspect of hospital and healthcare design, according to an article on the Building Design & Construction website.
But managing the integration of technology into a building program can be complicated.
The exponential growth of the field has the potential to expose gaps in the design team’s knowledge, including owner’s responsibilities that manifest in budget shortfalls; marginalized functionality of evidence-based designs; and ultimately, suboptimal facility performance, the article said.
Having a sound management plan in place throughout the execution/construction phase of the project is fundamental to the future success of a healthcare facility.
