Flexibility, Standardization, and the Cost of Overdesign
Standards help organizations decide what job needs to be done, make clear tradeoffs, and move design work faster while improving buying power and controlling cost. But healthcare facilities operate in a changing world, so designs also need enough flexibility to adapt to new products, technologies, and ways of delivering care. This session looks at how to strike the right balance between standardization and flexibility so teams avoid overdesign, protect budgets, and keep options open for the future.
