2018-2019 Programs Details
Challenges
America's healthcare systems face substantial and well-documented challenges
Strategy
In response to theses complex challenges, healthcare executives are developing a collection of creative strategies in various areas of resource management.
Built Environment
Many of these resourceful new approaches impact the built environment in which healthcare is delivered; and conversely, the built environment impacts the effectiveness with which the new strategies are executed.
Imperative
It is critical that our health-focused buildings do their part
Mission
The purpose of this program is to establish an ambitious and energetic dialog between the healthcare executives responsible for creating strategy and those responsible for the built environment in which strategiesare executed.
Survey
ACHE will survey their membership to determine:
1Which current active strategies they consider most
pressing…
2Which of those strategies do they believe contains a built
environment component?
3Which of their members would be willing to briefly interact with
the HIR Board to discuss how to create healthcare buildings that
more aggressively support strategy execution.
Process
Armed with the ACHE survey results, in partnership with our four universities, HIR will develop a program that describes a conceptual framework for improvement along with recommended specific action items.
Deliverables
This program will produce a series of white papers…which will be published in relevant professional media….. along with presentations at selected professional events.
Outcomes
Properly executed, this program will give birth to a robust industry debate resulting in built environments that more aggressively support corporate strategy.
