Successfully activating an ambulatory care center will involve focusing on operational readiness, facility readiness and move logistics, according to an article on the Medical Construction & Design website.
Operational readiness involves preparing all administrative and clinical processes and functions performed on a day-to-day basis.
Facility readiness should be managed and coordinated with the general contractor for the physical facility preparedness. Any third-party building owners and operators should be included in the process and aware of the occupancy schedule, the article said.
Moving logistics must be strategically planned and executed in regard to the coordination of furnishing and equipment deliveries, installation and preparation for “going live.”
