“One foremost truth I believe: It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that a comprehensive program is provided to the design team prior to the commencement of design.” The Role of the Architect in Healthcare Facilities Programming: The Hospital Administrator’s Point of View Janet Adams RAIC Seminar, 24 May 1990
Background Traditional Model / How It Developed Application to Healthcare Projects Timelines
Traditional Model / Timeline 4-18 mo. 6 mo. 0 -12 mo. 3 - 8 mo. 8 mo. 1 - 3 mo. 12 - 24 mo. 3 mo. 24 - 36 mo. 35 yrs + 4-6 YEARS
History Healthcare Programming evolved through a need to organize the project before starting design. Why? Where? What? How Much? How Many? How? When? How Long?
Factors That Drive This Model PROFESSIONAL: RAIC Canadian Handbook of Practice: • Programming and Planning part of PreDesign, undertaken as a discreet phase apart from Schematic Design • Often tied to feasibility studies, financing requests and business case evaluation/preparation BUDGET: Desire for Early Financial Planning / Cost Estimates SCOPE DEFINITION: Don’t want to go too far down a path before needing to change course or delay. BENCHMARKS:Want ability to compare with past/other projects early in a project’s life. REGULATORY:Jurisdictional Requirements and Procurement Guidelines.
Traditional Concept Go/No-Go Cost Check Cost Check Project Brief/ Basic Arch. Program DD… Programming/Planning Schematic Design Contract 1 or In-house Contract 2 Contract 3 SIMPLIFIED PERCEPTION
Downsides to this Model UNDERSTANDING CHANGE vs. STATUS QUO DISCONTINUITY BUDGET TIME TRANSLATION
“A general precept seems to be that programming should not predetermine design solutions. Exactly where programming should end and design begin is unclear.” The Role of the Architect in Healthcare Facilities Programming: The Hospital Administrator’s Point of View Janet Adams RAIC Seminar, 24 May 1990

Benefits to this Model VISUALIZATION RAPID CONCEPT TESTING SPATIAL REALITIES INNOVATIVE THINKING ENGINEERING INTEGRATION COSTING ACCURACY SUPPORTS CHANGE CONTINUITY OF VISION ENGAGEMENT & UNDERSTANDING SPEED ENJOYMENT!
Drawbacks to this Model “FOREIGN” PROCESS • Cart before the horse? • Looser Design Sequence TENDENCY TOWARD DETAIL EMOTION / ATTACHMENT • Drawings seen early REQUIRES FREQUENT REASSURANCE
Precedents Innovative Care Flexible Facilities Project, Halifax NS Banner Page Hospital, Page AZ
ICFF Project TIME: Very tight timelines REGULATORY: Strict Procurement and Public Tendering Policies/Regulations OBJECTIVES: • Organizational Change & Efficiency • Patient-Centredand Cost Effective Solutions • Alignment with Concurrent Clinical Services Planning work • Collaborative, Humble Process • In-depth User Input and Buy-in • Public Engagement
Conclusions • Blurred Lines of the Process = Continuity due to technology and techniques • Evidence-based Design (EBD) facilitates the process, as current best-practices are disseminated and adopted more quickly. • Planning & design standards (e.g. CSA Z8000) provide a framework for critical discussion of programming. • Not purely a tool to shorten timelines
Conclusions Combined process leads to enhanced stakeholder participation and buy-in.
