Description
Innovative construction contracting incorporates new techniques to supplement traditional low-bid, design-bid-build contracting.   Innovative contracting can decrease project delivery time, reduce construction time, improve safety, incorporate innovation, and lower costs.  One such innovation is the need to “future-proof” facilities, as functional changes often take place faster than projects can be completed.  During the lifecycle of a facility, or after the completion of construction or renovations, clinicians are often left to “deal with” a design intent which may no longer match their current needs.
 
An innovative construction contract gives owners, managers, and users the tools to change and manage their environments as needed after they occupy the new space.  Safety, innovation, and flexibility to respond to changing needs are essential.  The presenter will discuss formats that provide opportunities to reduce both construction costs and long-term maintenance and operating expenses.  Key issues of repetitive, unnecessary, and avoidable financial losses for healthcare facilities will be reviewed.  Understand how to develop, design, and provide life-cycle cost reduction solutions that incorporate modular space and flexible equipment management system into the basis of design.
 
Part two of this session will focus on the progression of the design and construction delivery at Mercy Hospital over the span of several projects.  Ranked one of the top five largest U.S. health systems by Truven in 2017, Mercy serves millions annually across Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma.  Embarking on several significant building projects in recent years including new additions, renovations and stand-alone hospitals, the system’s goal was to continually improve the delivery of healthcare design and construction services.  Hear about the evolution of healthcare delivery progressing from a siloed approach, to what has become an enhanced integrated team that capitalizes on each other’s strengths.
 
Learning Objectives:
1.Understand the need to “future-proof” the design of healthcare facilities.
2.List methods of innovative constructing contract solutions that can improve spaces, increase patient/staff safety and lower costs.
3.Compare different delivery methods that result in a more integrated project delivery model.
4.Discuss opportunities to build partnership and create transparency, leading to smoother processes in building design, construction and the delivery of healthcare for patients.
