IPD keeps California healthcare facility project on track

Sutter Health Eden Medical Center was completed on time and within budget with integrated project delivery and Lean methods


Sutter Health Eden Medical Center in Castro Valley, Calif., was completed on time and within budget with integrated project delivery and Lean methods, according to an article on the Consulting and Specifying Engineer website.

Project delivery teams who learned to follow Sutter’s admonition to “optimize the whole, not the pieces” have been achieving significantly better outcomes, the article said.

The team spent two months developing a concept, estimating the cost, and planning how to construct it on time and on budget. While a detailed clinical program was completed, Sutter Health developed  goals to be used as guiding principles on the project. 

The team used these goals to measure how effective they were, and to determine what the final project outcome would be.
