Ambulatory care facilites pose equipment planning challenges

Centers must serve a range of patient types and address many different health conditions

A project team must develop creative solutions that overcome these challenges. The equipment that the planner recommends must provide flexibility, maximize staff efficiency and efficient use of space, and enable clinicians to ensure good patient outcomes, according to the article.

The equipment planner and project team's processes must be aligned. Without equipment planning data, it may be impossible to meet deadlines and the project schedule could suffer.
