The Benefits Of Healthcare Facility Planning

By Jordan Schmidt


Real estate property development is often a challenging task particularly for a newcomer into the industry. Regardless of the type of property that you intend to put up, there are three main stages that you have to go through; planning, designing and finally constructing. Each of these stages is very important and its success determines the success of the entire project. In this article we explore how to undertake successful healthcare facility planning in California.

A properly planned property communicates a lot of things about your entire business. Such a plan will therefore influence how the facility is perceived by your clients, staff and competitors. Patients want to be treated in place in which they believe the best services are offered. Create a plan that will propel your business to the top of the pile in the ever so competitive industry.

Planning should take care of every little detail in the property. One of the areas that you will need to spend time on architecturally is the entrance. This is what people see first when they make the trip to your hospital. As such it should be designed around a compassionate theme and patients should feel that they will get better. Research has shown that the appearance of a hospital may help relieve stress in some patients.

It is impossible to discuss the success of any real estate property without mentioning capital. Whether you intend to build from the ground up or to be based in rented premises, you need money. The amount of capital that is required in dependent on the size of the structure to be constructed and the quality of service that one intends to provide. Have these two variables crystal clear from the very beginning.

Hospitals have continued to readily embrace modern technology in a bid to be more efficient in operations. The technology revolves around aspects such as diagnosis, treatment and inpatient and outpatient management. While the initial investment may be tremendous, the returns are often very satisfying in the long term. As a planner, ensure that your hospital is positioned to adopt this technology from the onset. It should be able to adjust easily to the constantly changing environment.

Adopt an efficient and seamless operation model that will satisfy your clients and bring good returns to the facility. The type of model to be used should take into account the demographic characteristics of your potential clients; their age; gender and more importantly the numbers. There should be enough traffic to keep the hospital in business. In this regard, you need to identify the insurance companies that you will partner with.

Healthcare is highly labour intensive and requires highly skilled personnel. This means that a huge proportion of the budget will go towards settling labour costs. It is important to accurately plan for a lean but efficient labour force. Efficiency can only be achieved by ensuring that you regularly address the welfare issues of your employees and keep them constantly motivated.

Like any form of business, you will need to address the question of sustainability. Have short term and long term goals and conduct periodic monitoring and evaluation programmes to assess progress. Failure to plan properly for your health facility is a recipe for failure. Invest in it.
