Future of Healthcare Facilities in New Zealand

About

There is recognition that devolving services from hospitals to the community and creating integrated health care are key to ensuring the Ministry of Health’s target of “Better, Sooner and More Convenient”. At the same time, with an ageing population and changes in healthcare expectations, DHB’s need to wisely expand their facilities to accommodate for tomorrow’s growth.

But doing so requires good concepts of healthcare facilities and strong project management to ensure newly developed healthcare facilities such as the proposed Integrated Family Health Centres or new DHB facilities meet expectations, stay within budget and gain support of the community they serve.

Join us at the Future Healthcare Facilities and Project Management of Healthcare Facility Developments Forums. Across two separate days, understand more about the direction and design of healthcare facilities in the next few years and how to successfully manage healthcare facility development.

Conference 1 features trends and highlights of current healthcare facility design
• Understand what integrated family health care centres will look like and how to design health care facilities that match the needs of your community and limitations
• Find out how evidence based design applies to New Zealand
• Hear from leading healthcare facility designers on new innovations and trends in current design

Conference 2 covers managing the facility development process from DHBs, PHOs and other healthcare organisations
• Hear from DHBs, PHO’s and other organisations on how each aspect of the project was managed and how to reduce risk and enhance business continuity.
• Understand more about migration planning and reducing disruption
• Role of culture in change management and facility re-design

Case Study: Designing, creating and assessing energy efficiency and resilience in healthcare facilities

In this presentation Beca will share a case study for the adoption of a specifically prepared facility design philosophy. A process was undertaken to assess and technically prove the benefits of initiatives and life cycle costing before adoption into the design. We share the overall process, the results and finally tips on how it could be applied to other projects.
• Understanding the role of each design element
• Calculating efficiency and resilience
• Proving benefits and costs
• The application of supportability engineering
