Global expansion of health care and research facilities in today's turbulent economic climate demands disciplined development, collaboration and informed decision making. Across the design and development of a facility and the building and operating of the technology vision, disparate challenges threaten to engulf the organization beneath the waves of industry change. Health care leaders must achieve high performance in every function of their organizations—and one of the most important of these is health facilities development.
To enable the pursuit of high performance through the development of health facilities, health care leadership should align architectural and IT design with the clinical operations' vision. Confronting these objectives will require a clear articulation of the operating model and business strategy—one that draws from leading global practices and solutions and incorporates them locally.
Integrated and collaborative program management—from project conception through facility opening and operations—will help contain and manage costs while minimizing architectural and IT change orders. Expanding market share into suburban areas and remote populations will call for developing and managing operational budgets that will deliver the positive operating margins needed for a self-sustaining economic model.
