Replacement projects have different goals, but the way that new facility, unit, or department is operated will likely be different than it is in the one it’s replacing, according to an article on the Healthcare Design website.

• staff orientation
• proper operating sequences
• appropriate staff alignment
• technology integration and implementation
• equipment education and implementation.
Once those five objectives have been achieved, it’s time to open, according to the article.
