Healthcare Design - November 2015 - 84
Georgia Medical Center (NGMC) Braselton is notable
for sustainability measures that have it tracking
LEED Gold and a rigorous use of Lean design that's
streamlined clinical processes and operations. But
what also makes the project a standout is the fact
that it's the first new hospital to be built in the Peach
State in 20 years.
Originally a very small, rural community, the town
of Braselton, Ga., sprouted from just 418 residents
in 1990 to 7,511 in 2010-and it's still growing.
Residents of the underserved community previously
had to travel about 30 miles to the Atlanta area to
seek medical care. But on April 1, Northeast Georgia
Health System's newest hospital opened its doors
for business, housing 26 specialties including heart
and vascular services, orthopedics, neuroscience,
surgery, cancer treatment, and emergency services.
Together, NGMC Braselton's inpatient platform and
large ambulatory presence are helping to build the
organization's brand as a small hospital with big
programs.
The Lean journey
Starting with a clean slate on a greenfield site, NGMC
Braselton set out to do things right and this meant
serving as good environmental stewards, driving
down energy use and maximizing operational ef84

ficiencies. It seemed that the key to achieving this
was tapping into the latest strategies that Lean
design had to offer.
From the start, clinical processes were established with measurable metrics tied to staffing and
operations, sustainable concepts and lifecyclecost savings, and improved patient outcomes and
safety-all before the building design began. But it
needed a team that would be able to carry it out.
"We did a lot of research to identify the thought
leaders in their different fields and we did a wide
search of architects as we were looking for a
team that had direct Lean experience," says Rudy
Top: Regional influences,
including natural wood finishes
and locally quarried Georgia
stone, helped deliver a building in
harmony with its context. Above:
The glass and wood entrance
rotunda is easily identified from
a distance, guiding visitors to the
main entrance. This focal point
serves as both a wayfinding and
branding element.
