be laid out more efficiently to minimize steps
and provide better access to supplies. Using
full-size mock-ups and testing multiple layouts, it was determined that the size should be
reduced by 30 square feet, saving the project
more than $1 million. Similarly, the patient
bathroom was reconfigured and tested, resulting in a smaller footprint with a sliding door.

At the end of the project, the team wasn't
surprised that $16 million had been saved because of the in-depth budget review process in
place. The dollars preserved by efficiencies in
the design and facility management were then
protected and available to bolster patient care
and equipment. While some changes were
made, such as applying the high-impact drywall in more places and selecting a different
shower seat, the overall approach and continual process improvement helped the hospital
achieve not just savings but dramatic increases in patient satisfaction scores.
In ambulatory surgery, for example, the rating for comfort of the room went from the
23rd percentile to 81st, and the attractiveness
of the center was rated in the 89th percentile compared to the 18th before the changes.
Noise level went from the 36th to 87th percentile, and the hospital's overall HCAHPS rating
went from 46th to 82nd percentile. This vast
improvement has moved the hospital to a topranked program and is hoped to continue to
generate patient interest and revenue as word
of the improvements spreads. 
