Healthcare design and construction have evolved to keep pace with medical breakthroughs, technological developments, and changing regulatory environments. Today’s healthcare design and construction goals revolve around supporting patient outcomes and population health management, providing a value-based care model rather than the traditional volume-based one.
The modern approach to healthcare construction brings together several elements to improve the quality of life within medical facilities. These include sustainability, evidence-based design, supporting core care functions and goals, and a long-term plan to support a facility. The rapid advancement of technology and its implications on treatment are vital factors that need to be considered by contractors when designing a healthcare infrastructure.
This edition of Healthcare Business Review showcases the key developments in the healthcare construction sector and how organizations are leveraging the latest services to evolve their healthcare infrastructure. It features thought leadership articles from Karin Henderson, executive director of strategic facility delivery at Cone Health, and Ana Maria Y. Jimenez, director of quality at Asian Hospital and Medical Center. Henderson states that conventional design and construction methods are no longer suitable, and hospitals must build and renovate with practical projections in mind. Jimenez highlights the importance of leveraging operational excellence to improve processes, utilizing resources more efficiently, eliminating mistakes and unnecessary procedures, and improving health outcomes.
