MASTER SITE AND FACILITY PLANNING

Master site and facility planning is a core competency of Partners. Our staff has been involved in a significant number of planning projects over the last two decades. As a result, our approach to master planning is comprehensive and time-tested, and yields superlative results for our clients. 

In undertaking a master planning effort, we incorporate five key steps:

  1. Market Assessment
    • Source of Patients
    • Market Share
    • Population Trends
    • Historical Medical Center Service Volumes
    • Use Rate Trends
    • Technology and Utilization Shifts
  2. Strategies
    • Physician Partnership
    • Medical Office Building Development
    • Centers of Excellence
    • Ambulatory Delivery Strategy
    • Regional Network Development
    • Others
  3. Project Service Volume
    • Inpatient Volumes
    • Ancillary Service Volumes
  4. Physical Facility Requirements
    • By Every Major Department and Service Area
    • Space Deficiencies and Requirements
    • Departmental Relationships and Adjacencies
  5. Master Facility Plan
    • Building Expansion Plan Options
    • Building Renovation Plan Operations
    • Site Development Options
    • Cost Guidelines

Partners also conducts a functional evaluation of existing facilities to accommodate the service needs identified in the strategic plan.  We prioritize the facility issues by department based on major functional deficiencies. We recommended alternatives for expanding or renovating facilities in order to solve major strategic and/or operational issues.  The latter includes developing high-level cost guidelines and project phasing for the master plan solution.
