The Crossover Medical Office Building

Mar 22, 2022 7:15am ‐ Mar 22, 2022 8:15am

Credits: None available.

The delivery of health care is evolving quickly and constantly. Expectations for ambulatory care and the types of treatments that are possible in the outpatient setting are particularly dynamic. As care migrates away from the traditional hospital, the ambulatory environment must anticipate sicker patients, more complex procedures, and higher demands for resiliency and reliability of technology. For all these reasons, the hospital-owned ambulatory care center is crossing over to look and perform less like a traditional medical office building and more like an outpatient hospital. This means robust standards for infrastructure, including highly reliable electrical systems, enhanced infection prevention, and high-performing exterior envelopes. This session will focus on the importance of planning for future flexibility within an ambulatory setting. The case study will focus on the core-and-shell planning process for a new outpatient facility housing multiple types of health care services including ambulatory surgery, faculty practice and cancer treatment.

Learning Objectives:
  • Identify types of technologies that will impact the planning of a clinical environment.
  • Develop infrastructure planning strategies to accommodate future health care program requirements.
  • Identify space planning techniques to strategically plan for future health care workflows.
  • Assess cost-effective strategies for implementation while considering the total cost of ownership for the building.

Data-Driven Metrics for Right‐Sizing Your Hospital

Mar 22, 2022 2:30pm ‐ Mar 22, 2022 3:30pm

Credits: None available.

With costs going up and funding buckets getting smaller, health care designers and construction managers are challenged to find new ways to reduce construction costs while positively impacting life cycle costs. And patient floors account for the largest amount of hospital program space. In this session you will hear firsthand from the researchers who conducted and analyzed a National Bed Tower Study that was published in the journal Health Environments Research & Design. Together with the executive director of facility services from the University of Rochester, the group asks: Is there an opportunity to reassess how to approach patient-floor design and construction based on a deeper understanding of trends and metrics? With data collected from 171 current hospital projects including patient-floor GSF; patient-room size; inboard versus outboard bathroom location; same-hand versus mirrored rooms; centralized versus decentralized nursing; and column spacing; this session is an indepth analysis of what the metrics tell us. The panel will provide owners and health care facility designers with knowledge and insight to benchmark their design to national averages, see what others are doing, and potentially offer ideas to right-size their space, thus reducing costs.

Learning Objectives:
  • Assess the reference data from a decade of design and the built environment to make informed decisions for future builds or analyze current facility layout.
  • Utilize the extensive range of data to validate and/or influence current projects and future master plans.
  • Determine the changes in health care design relative to past experience and what might be possible in the future.
  • List and describe the results of narrowing the data field down to the most.

Protecting Health Care Facilities Fire & Life Safety Systems Against Cyberattacks

Mar 22, 2022 2:30pm ‐ Mar 22, 2022 3:30pm

Credits: None available.

Cyberattacks are increasingly disrupting patient care and putting patient safety at risk. Data breaches have, for example, made emergency medical records inaccessible, diverted ambulances, delayed treatments, and canceled appointments and surgery. While data breeches flood the headlines, it’s not the only way cybercriminals can compromise patient safety. Attacks on fire protection systems can cause false alarms, loss of communication or denial of service, which can interrupt patient care and compromise safety. Fire protection systems are increasingly networked to Building Control Systems (BCS), Internet of Things (IoT), and other platforms that are, by design or oversight, exposed to the public-facing internet. This emerging environment exposes fire and life safety systems to unique and novel cyber vulnerabilities and attacks that have the potential for significant consequences. Any weak point in a building’s information technology infrastructure, including equipment, building systems, IoT devices and more, can be exploited and used as a pathway for attack. This session will review the expansiveness of cyber vulnerabilities for fire and life safety systems in health care facilities, the severity of consequences, tactics to mitigate these threats, the role of codes and standards, and how to reduce these risks.

Learning Objectives:
  • Recognize the expansiveness of cyber vulnerabilities for fire and life safety systems in health care facilities.
  • Assess the severity of the consequences as a result of the identified vulnerabilities.
  • Identify tactics to mitigate these threats in your facility and the role of codes and standards.
  • Develop insightful strategies to reduce these cyber risks
