"I saw an angel in the stone, and I carved to set it free" -Michelangelo
First Things First: Strategic/Master Planning Creates the Vision • SP Process: Quantification of – • Community need and demand-inpatient and outpatient • Market position • Medical staff • Community perceptions • Physical plant needs versus current physical plant—major space drivers (beds, ED, ORs, etc.)
Visioning Is Also Important • May also require revisiting of vision and mission statements.
Understanding Your Community’s Need and Demand • What is the size of the market? • How do you define your primary service area? • Who else serves this market? • How many admissions annually? • How many ED visits, surgeries etc? • How are demographics changing? What impact will this have on future need and demand?
Demographics are a Major Driver of Future Volume • Understanding demographics is key… • Elderly use services at 2.5 times the rate of under 65. • What assumptions do we want to make about the future role of the hospital— service delivery, etc.?
Drill Down as Far as Possible…. • The ‘Typical’ Rural Area Slow, steady growth overall Flat growth for peds and OB women Lower % of peds and OB women Higher % of seniors Rapid growth forseniors
Inpatient Market Position is Easy to Quantify • Inpatient: • CHARS allows us to easily quantify size of inpatient market—by zip code of residence, patient age, DRG, and hospital/MD. • Can track changes in utilization and market share over time. • This data is key to projecting future inpatient bed needs.
But, We Continue to Struggle with the Ever Increasing Outpatient Market • Outpatient • Historically, much more difficult to quantify—but “proxies” are possible via community surveying and/or Solucient outpatient data. • Changes in outpatient as much a function of technology and reimbursement as demographics.
Understanding Medical Staff Need and Current Situation is Also Key • Should first compare community need for MD against supply. Are there unmet needs and realistic opportunities? • Must also include existing MDs in process: • Are they committed to staying in the community? For how long? • Is there a need for a formal medical staff development process. How much $$ will this require?
Surveys are Often a Good Way to Collect the Needed Information • Key Survey Questions • Practice Data (visits, % at the Hospital, payer mix, etc.) • Practicing In/ Recruiting to the Community • Perceived Manpower/Recruiting Needs • The Hospital’s Role in Recruiting • Specific Perceptions of the Hospital
How Does the Community Perceive the Hospital? Will they Support Growth and Development? • Strongly consider a community survey and a series of key informant interviews.
How Does the Community Perceive the Hospital? • Community survey-will address issues of: • Utilization and patient satisfaction: • Primary care practitioners • Specific outpatient services • Inpatient services • Urgent care • Specialists • Reasons for leaving the community • Awareness/perceptions of Hospital • Priorities for local health care • Demographic info (insurance, etc.) • Willingness to tax • Other issues as appropriate
How Does the Community Perceive the Hospital? • Key Informant Interviews: • Perceptions of hospital, hospital leadership • Role of hospital in the community • Other divergent/convergent issues facing the community • Future vision for the hospital
Clear goals and direction. Clear delineation of space needs at varying market share assumptions. Must take the next step of comparing existing plant to projected needs. The End Result….

Visioning • Different than Strategic Vision • Set Guiding Principles for Project • Overarching common attributes • Safety • Flexibility v. expandability • Efficient • Healing • Recruitment/retention
Visioning • Set Metrics • Measurable goals • Project-specific • S-t-r-e-t-c-h • Project-influenced goals as well
Keys to a Successful Project • Communication, Communication, Communication • Set of written “Working Assumptions” • Clear Decision-Making • Regular Updates • Written • Phone • In-person • Project Management – Owner/Architect/Contractor
Prioritization of FLOW in Design Objective Subjective Strategic Importance Patient Volume Brand Profitability Competition Growth Physician Relations Disruptive Tech Community Staffing Intensity
Design Issues • Clear Space Program • Master Planning – Long-Term • Project Design – Short-Term • Mock-ups and Other Tools
Establishing a Project Budget • Land • Entitlements • Construction • Escalation • “I” v. “B” • Soft Costs • Contingencies
Land Costs • Purchase Price • Criteria for Development • Time Horizons • Location, Location, Location • Infrastructure & Entitlements • Timeframes
Construction • Market Comps • Escalation • “I” v. “B” • Cost • Flexibility • Reimbursement
Soft Costs • Cost the Same as Hard Costs! • Design Fees • Engineering • Project Management • Jurisdictional Fees
Owner’s Costs • Medical Equipment (and Planning) • Furniture/Fixtures/Equipment • Information Technology • Cabling • Applications • Contingencies
MD Development & Recruitment • Do the Math • How many by specialty • Lead times/degree of difficulty • Population-based v. facility-based • “Need” v. “redistribution” • Don’t be “beggars” • Pool of potential staff • Open process/project structure/communication • Exclusives/RFP’s
