E48 – Aligning Growth with Infrastructure Reality
Too often, health systems default to new construction when the most cost effective capacity can be found in existing facilities. When Sharp HealthCare began evaluating potential integration of Tri City Medical Center into its network, the organization's opportunity assessment included a comprehensive review of facilities in the context of strategic highest and best use. The findings revealed opportunities to leverage capacity to support the community now and in the future. This session will demonstrate how Sharp, Tri City, and Jensen Partners re envisioned the campus through a systemwide asset management lens, assessing each building for physical condition, strategic relevance, clinical alignment, and long term value. By implementing systemwide best practices and reorganizing space based on clinical performance, the team strengthened service distribution and revitalized the campus. The resulting approach offers a model for optimizing assets, increasing system capacity, and fortifying the future of a critical community healthcare provider.

Yet adoption stalls when ease of use isn't there-mindsets resist change, teams aren't trained, and legacy processes, contracts, and approvals weren't designed for standardized assemblies. This session reframes modular integration as a management system, not just a building method-one that real estate, construction, and facility leaders can operationalize across planning, design, procurement, and operations. We'll show how increase adoption by redefining and restructuring paradigms and processes to make -the right way- also the easy way. Drawing from real project insights, this discussion will show how modular strategies move beyond incremental improvement to reshape capital planning, operational readiness, and long?term asset performance across entire portfolios. Attendees will leave with actionable plays to overcome behavioral, procedural, and contractual barriers and to scale modular approaches portfolio?wide within the Facility, Project & Asset Management Track.Show MoreClick the title to see all detailsShow More

The Capacity Command Center creates an agile system to manage Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center complex hospital system with the ability to flex into an incident command center for emergency response. The goal, as stated by CCHMC: “To centralize capacity management across our enterprise optimizing efficiencies to improve access.” Organizational Benchmarking of various command centers showed increased savings through increased transfers, improved transport dispatch time, and faster bed assignment translating significant operational savings. This is the story of the process of the creation of the Capacity Command Center told from the perspective of the Owners, the Architects, and the Engineers: from the spark of idea, the institutional strategy that drove its inception, the internal leadership that championed its cause, the research into what other institutions have done, the incorporation of precedent elements from industry and healthcare into a unique space typology, the incorporation of many and varied stakeholders into a visioning process, the search for the right physical location, the provision of technical solutions through design-construction team collaboration, and building it for future flexibility.Show MoreClick the title to see all detailsShow More
