Healthcare Facility Construction - Renovate or Build New?
February 9, 2010
1:30 - 3:00 pm Eastern
*Due to popular demand, this is a pre-recorded replay of this Audio Conference. If you have any questions after the conference, you may contact the presenter directly.
In order to debate the pros and cons of renovation versus new construction, one must first qualify and quantify the scope of a project. Since there are many types of renovations/expansions, the decision usually will depend upon the size, complexity and age of each key planning unit or support service under evaluation as to whether an owner decides to renovate or build new. Additions/renovations can range from expanding the number of operating rooms in an existing OR suite, to expanding a whole emergency department (both are common requests), to the more simple projects such as adding more storage capacity to an existing materials management area.
However, a much larger decision comes when an owner is trying to decide whether to renovate and expand their existing facility in place, or to build a new replacement hospital. Quick rush to judgment to proceed may lead to substantial unexpected operational and financial outcomes which might unnecessarily further burden the long-term viability of the institution.
This ninety-minute audio conference will provide an opportunity to discuss with recognized experts the process and the resources necessary for this significant decision.
Learning Objectives:
Identify five key drivers for the decision-making process.
Explain the importance of long-range planning in making short-range decisions. How big is the project now - and in the future?
Describe how codes and regulatory guidelines, such as the Life Safety Code, ADA , and HIPAA can greatly affect basic decisions to renovate or build new.
Recognize when physical site constraints dictate whether to expand and renovate versus building new.
Explain the importance of five key factors of the physical environment.
Discuss the role of competition in the decision-making process.
Describe how the determination of capacity and age of existing power plants can affect basic questions of renovation versus new construction.
Identify when construction disruption during a renovation impedes the hospitals ability to maintain the quality of life safety issues.
Discuss the importance of community support.
