Developing real estate properties in California is often a challenging undertaking. The challenge is likely to be even bigger when that property is a healthcare facility. The three stages that are involved in property development are planning, design and construction. Each of these stages is important to the entire project and should therefore be treated as that. We will explore some of the main components of healthcare facility planning.
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.
First impressions are central to success. The entrance to the hospital should communicate messages of compassion, commitment to service delivery and a promise of comfort. These should be factored in when designing the drop off area, the parking lots and street signs. A good reception will give confidence to your clients and will help relieve the stress that is often associated with disease.
The two biggest variables in the project are the size of the facility and the quality of services to be provided. These must be clear from the beginning. The amount of resources to be put in is directly proportional to the size of the project. The quality of services that are to be provided will also have a bearing on the cost. Hospitals that wish to give state of the art care have to inject more capital than those that are focused on basic healthcare.
Healthcare has become increasingly reliant on technology in recent times. Making a diagnosis a diagnosis to issuing prescriptions to maintaining patient records, technology is today part and parcel of health service provision. Ensure that you identify the most efficient and most cost effective form of technology to be adopted by your company. At the same time, be prepared to adapt to newer forms of technology to remain competitive.
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.
The healthcare industry is labour intensive. On most occasions you will need to employ high skilled personnel that have to be paid well. This may take up a half to two thirds of your budget and may eventually lead to very high operational costs. It is vital that you plan carefully for this aspect. It is better to have a small efficient facility that a large inefficient one.
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.
