Focus: New construction

Changing healthcare facilities offers opportunity for change

Making a move means reviewing everything to determine if it is necessary in the new facility


Relocating to a new healthcare facility is an ideal time to rethink things such as the facility layout, equipment placement, the need for additional equipment or services, according to an article on the Healthcare Informatics website.

A downsizing in facility size might mean less space for storage infrastructure.  This could be an opportunity to replace or supplement infrastructure with outsourced resources such as the cloud.  

It's also a good time to reassess how things are done, and whether a move means a time to rethink operations.  Perhaps the current environment had space for individual offices, but the new space is smaller and might benefit from more shared space.  

Printing resources are another good example.  Maybe there has been a proliferation of printers in the current space.  A relocation might be time to consider updating printers and copiers and implementing more shared equipment.
