Medical Design Forum: Balancing Costs & Quality in an Evolving Landscape
This year’s Medical Design Forum + Project Tour explores how tightening budgets impact health care providers and their capital projects. Providers face a new reality of performance metrics affecting revenue streams; they seek insight into long term patient flow, equipment costs, and facility use to navigate an uncertain future. Amid this change, providers turn to non-traditional approaches and technologies for expansion and facility improvement. In this evolving landscape, design professionals are well-suited to partner with owners and facilities managers to build for an uncertain fiscal future with economical and high quality designs. This two-day forum features a keynote address, panel presentations, an expo with demonstrations and presentations of emerging prefabrication and modeling technologies, and a tour of an award-winning, adaptive reuse project – Seattle Children’s South Clinic in Federal Way.
Experts from health care, design, construction, and technology will discuss:
- Changes to provider revenue streams and impacts on facility management
- Challenges and opportunities in adaptive reuse of existing big box stores
- “On the Boards” with the Harrison Medical Center – Silverdale Expansion
- Innovative virtual reality modeling technologies
- Prefabrication systems for health care facilities
Presented in collaboration with the Architecture for Health Panel (AHP)
Registration Close Date: Tuesday, February 7, 2017
