Where Healthcare Construction Is Headed In The 21st Century
Through the years, we’ve seen healthcare design and construction evolve as technological developments, medical breakthroughs and regulatory environments have impacted our nation’s facilities. Today, care providers are transitioning from a volume-based care model to a value-based care model — one that requires healthcare design and construction to support patient outcomes and population health management.
As a result of this shift, the philosophy behind private-sector healthcare construction has changed. At GHHD, we believe that the goal of healthcare facilities is no longer to stay at maximum occupancy and reach maximum acuity. Small and medium-sized clinics are being strategically placed and structured to support populations and help patients move toward healthier lifestyles. Today, facilities must support impactful care that keeps patients out of hospitals and gets them healthy as quickly as possible.
Healthcare construction is now about retooling spaces to focus energy on core care elements. Every design element must be deliberate, thought out and justified by a functional purpose. Design decisions take into account the return on investment (ROI) and value they deliver, not just aesthetics.
Key Elements Of Successful Construction
Given the widespread changes in healthcare construction, the approach to planning a successful project has changed — whether a new hospital, facility renovation or clinic construction. A strong, modern approach to healthcare construction includes several key elements that improve patient outcomes, including:
- Supporting core care functions and goals
- Evidence-based design
- A long-term plan to support your facility over its lifecycle
- Innovation, collaboration and value engineering
- Sustainability
