The energy of a new building can transform a healthcare facility's operations to yield better outcomes and improve team performance and patient experience, according to the Hospitals & Health Networks website.
Some questions to ask to help ensure this happens, include:
• Do you have measures that reflect the culture you are striving for — in the current space and in the new one?
• Are you aware of the facility design and scientific evidence that has proven specific outcomes in experience, safety and efficiency?
• Is the entire leadership team clear on what culture is essential to make the most of the facilities investment?
• Do you have engaged team members already demonstrating the culture intended in the new space?
