In healthcare design, it is critical for project stakeholders to participate in exploring how facility use and operations is integrated with space planning, according to an article on the Colorado Real Estate Journal website.
A collaborative approach with stakeholders, detailed knowledge of healthcare facilities and operations, along with careful planning can expedite the design and construction process.
Key stakeholders include patients/family, owners, operations, administration, clinicians, facilities staff, clinicians and donors.
Understanding and including facility operations and patient flow in initial programming discussions helps the design team address critical issues that might be missed.
