Operational readiness check ensures your new healthcare facility is good to go

After years of planning, design, and construction, usage details are crucial

By Healthcare Facilities Today


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.  So how do you ensure that what the project team has spent years planning, designing, and constructing is eventually used by staff in the way it was intended?

The KLMK Group Inc. of Richmond, Va., created the “5 Rights of Operational Readiness,” which takes a facility through the five things to nail down before opening the doors:

• 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.
