Elevating the Facilities Planning Conversation in Healthcare

Chronic underfunding, rising deferral and mounting operational constraints have led to a declining Net Asset Value (NAV) in most healthcare facilities. But, with healthcare leaders often considering facilities planning and reinvestment as a means to an end rather than a strategic activity, a path to transformative action in service of mission priorities remains undefined. Agents of strategic change will be needed to enrich the facilities planning conversation and ensure emerging considerations are integrated in the very fabric of institutional decision-making.

This collection of resources explores the prevailing trends and industry conditions propelling the need for more focused and decisive facilities planning, ways to re-frame the planning conversation around mission-driven priorities and stories about the successful implementation of cutting-edge planning practices.

Resources include:

• An overview of options for successful facilities data collection
• Examples of how your peers have used Gordian’s facilities assessment and capital planning services successfully
• A discussion on how facilities planning is more than just data when it comes to authoritative decision-making
• A step-by-step guide to changing and enriching the facilities investment conversation in healthcare
• A re-framing of ROI in facilities stewardship to encompass “Risk of Inaction”
