While aging facilities and changes in healthcare delivery can impact a healthcare organization’s long-term facility strategy, there are a number of additional issues that can also affect that plan. In order to ensure that your facility development strategy is not only affordable but also provides the proper physical elements for long-term success and operational efficiency, you need to consider

• Increasing demand for high-tech services in a rapidly changing technological environment;
  
• Decreasing capital funds;
  
• Maintenance of outdated facilities that add to operating costs;
  
• Return on investment of capital;
  
• Long-term flexibility of space;
• Requirements for HIPAA compliance; and
  
• Site circulation and zoning issues.

To help your organization achieve its expansion and business goals, the Healthcare Services Team of RSM McGladrey provides Master Facility Development Planning services. Comprised of experienced healthcare consultants who understand the changing trends in healthcare and their impact on facilities, our team helps healthcare organizations establish and manage an integrated development process that considers a comprehensive list of requirements and achieves an improved return on investment.

Our Approach
We offer an integrated approach to facility development master planning that allows your organization to better leverage its physical assets and provide cost-effective and convenient services for its patients. Customizable to the unique needs of your organization, our approach builds upon these key elements

• Assistance in understanding historical utilization and projecting future volume scenarios, and understanding the impact on facility needs;
• Incorporation of desired operating models into facility development;
• Detailed evaluation of existing facilities, including operational impact of existing conditions, remaining useful life, HIPAA violations and life-safety issues;
• Qualitative prioritization of facility issues and opportunities; and
• Integration of strategic vision into the facility development process.

Once we have developed this foundation, we then work with your organization to provide a detailed road map for development that will allow the organization to adapt as the market and healthcare changes.
