Q. Why a healthcare campus?
Healthcare campuses are the next phase of modern healthcare bringing a progressive approach
to planning facilities and programs to address the needs of patients and the community in the
next century. Communities can expect cost savings by bringing comprehensive healthcare
services together in one location, representing a more efficient way of delivering care, while
enhancing convenience for patients and families and providing flexibility for changes in healthcare
requirements. Benefits include:
- Interdependence rather than independence, which can benefit all partners involved medically, financially, and personally
- Integrating the advantages of multiple healthcare models into a cohesive network, extending market share and opportunities
- Creating a custom integration model to improve:
- clinical quality
- operational efficiency
- patient satisfaction
- referral generation
- physician recruitment and retention
Q. What are the success factors?
Building a healthcare campus is a major decision that requires careful evaluation, accurate planning and flawless execution. Healthcare campuses have a complex infrastructure, containing both clinical and non-clinical components, requiring different kinds of systems and integrated thinking.
A successful project must include a well-developed and executed business plan that takes into account key factors such as organizational structure, legal considerations and financial obligations. Most industry experts agree that selecting a corporate partner with proven experience in developing and managing hospitals will both maximize opportunity and minimize risk. Your partner should clearly understand the upfront legal aspects and state licensing requirements, but also the ongoing operational components such as managed care contracting, space planning, 24-hour staffing, complex services integration, and clinical pathways.
A successful healthcare campus begins with a thorough strategic market analysis that determines your community needs and scope of services. In addition, a financial feasibility study should be conducted to establish your projected patient volume, procedural case mix, revenue per case, scope of services including clinical and non clinical, SWB (salaries, wages & benefits), building and equipment costs, and other variable costs. The bottom line is the more due diligence you perform on the front end, the greater the chance for success on the back end.
