Accelerated Construction Procurement for Healthcare
 
Completing any kind of construction project in a healthcare setting can be a very challenging undertaking. Hospitals and healthcare facilities are constantly performing facility support, renovation and new construction projects. Since there’s no room for downtime, completing work in an efficient and timely manner that doesn’t affect patient care can be a very complex challenge.
 
Gordian is improving the way healthcare organizations procure construction services by providing solutions that bring efficiency, cost control, transparency and collaboration to repair, maintenance and new construction projects. In this focus group, we invite you to share input on your construction procurement challenges: 
 
  • What type of facility projects are under construction or being planned for construction within the next three years? How do you prioritize?
  • What is the main efficiency issue/challenge your organization is facing?
  • What project delivery methods do you currently use? What are their pros/cons?
  • What factors are critical to project success?
