public hospital, The
MetroHealth System has long served the city's
most underserved population. However, its
existing campus, which includes a variety
of buildings constructed between 1912 and
2004 and totaling more than 2 million square
feet, has outlived its usefulness. The facility
can no longer accommodate fast-evolving
advancements in technology and patient care.
To address this reality, the organization is
building a new 11-story acute care hospital on its
52-acre site, which is scheduled for completion
by 2022. In partnership with HGA (Milwaukee),
the master architect and engineering firm responsible for planning, design, and delivery on
the project, the system is also working to innovate planning, design, and construction.
The goal is to create a healthcare facility that's
dynamic rather than static, resulting in a set of
best practices that use a Lean philosophy and
"process-neutral" design approach.
"Process-neutral design is achieved by delivering maximum flexibility now and 50 years
into the future," says Walter Jones, senior vice
president of campus transformation at MetroHealth. Traditionally, Lean methodology seeks
to eliminate waste by focusing on the way care is
delivered today and improving upon it. Broadening Lean to include potential future states,
the concept of process neutral looks toward the
number of different ways care might be provided going forward, as well.
The team's challenge, then, was to design a
high-performing hospital that supports present
needs without restricting the building's ability
to respond to what comes next.

A collaborative approach was used to create an entirely processneutral platform for The MetroHealth System in Cleveland,
offering adaptability far into its new hospital's future By Kurt
Spiering and Mark Bultman
The first step in this process was to assemble
an internal group of thought leaders, called
the Innovation Team or "I-Team," with core
competencies in such key areas as space
optimization, Lean operational improvement,
evidence-based design, environmental
sociology, and technology. Together, they
provided unique perspectives and challenged
conventional thinking.
The I-Team generated various
concepts and schemes about the
future in their respective areas of
