Consolidation of providers, the need to improve outcomes and patient satisfaction and a focus on outcome-based medicine will all impact the outpatient facility of the future, according to an article on the Medical Construction & Design website.
More outpatient facilities are shifting from a multi-tenant building to a single integrated user. Consolidated practice buildings (CPBs) usually include:
• Shared or consolidated waiting space
• Single check-in area for the entire facility
• Consolidated records, billing and back-office functions
The right facility design will be instrumental in healthcare economics and the quality of service and significant overhead savings.
