Master Planning Model for Healthcare Facility Design
Abstract
One of the important and expensive decisions confronting a healthcare organization involves facility life cycle management. Facility life cycle management decisions can involve the expenditure of millions of dollars of funds, and are a component of executing a healthcare organization's strategic plan. Poorly made facility life cycle management decisions may result in facilities that are unable to meet patient needs, or support the organization's strategic goals. Federal and civilian healthcare organizations have developed various methodologies to determine the type and size of healthcare facility to build. Some of these methodologies use numerous benchmarks and complex models to provide a recommended facility solution. The purpose of this study is to provide military health system leaders in the national capital area with a streamlined facility master planning model to be used when considering medical facility projects.
