5 Critical Issues

Institute Research Mission

There are times when systemic incremental improvement is desirable. This is not one of those times. Our challenge is to materially improve the processes used to create and maintain the incredibly complex built environment required to effectively support America’s healthcare mission.

Interdisciplinary Collaboration

Small, focused teams of industry experts have committed to envision materially improved approaches to a selection of critical industry issues.

The Institute's research methods have been formulated to utilize the power of interdisciplinary collaboration, which actively breaks traditional professional boundaries. It is designed to result in dramatic breakthroughs in the creation, management, and repurposing of healthcare infrastructure.

Institute Research Governors

The Institute’s research program is guided by a distinguished selection of healthcare facility industry leaders. A full list is contained below.

Institute Research Teams

The Institute has selected five critical issues currently facing the healthcare facilities industry. Each issue will be the focus of one Research Team. All teams consist of a small group of highly respected industry leaders plus appropriate subject matter experts. Participation is by invitation only. Each will be guided by several Institute Research Governors and will produce three deliverables:

1. A white paper will be produced and published by the Institute. It will be distributed throughout the healthcare industry.
2. An interactive web conference will be organized by the Institute for each Research Team to present its findings to the industry.
3. Each team will personally present its findings at a national conference in Washington, DC on January 11, 2016.
4. All White Paper Team members will be invited to a dinner event in Washington, DC on January 10, 2016.
