THE FULL LIFE cycle of a new healthcare facility
project from concept through design, construction, and opening can range anywhere from
3-10 years. During this time, project activities
change hands a number of times: from the design team to the construction team to the transition planning team. Engagement with users
during this process is cyclical with heavier work
at the front end during design, little engagement
during construction, and then re-engagement
a few years later during the transition planning
phase.
A lot can also change after the design phase is
complete, as organizations evolve over these
years, leadership and staff change, mergers and
acquisitions take place, or technology and operational models advance. Additionally, value engineering or user change requests made during a
project can have an operational impact on users
in the new environment. Taken together, these
shifts make it challenging to ensure the design
intent from the early phases of planning is maintained all the way through day one of operations.
That's where the latter end of this cycle comes
into play, with transition planning teams tasked
with guiding organizations as they convert
front-end planning and design from concept to
implementation, applying new operating models in a new healthcare facility.

TRANSITION PLANNING
DAVID SENIOR
HELPING HAND
Understanding the link between design and transition planning
can help achieve operational success By Erin Clark
After construction is underway, an organization
develops an internal structure to tackle the activities required to ensure a safe and successful
facility opening.
While the transition planning process is often thought of as the preparation of the physical
space, there's a significant operational, staffing,
and technology planning component requiring
time and staff resources to support the optimization of the new environment. The time frame
for this process can span 12-24 months before
opening day, depending on the size and specialty
of the project.
Transition planners are found in a variety
of places. They can be internal to a hospital
or healthcare system, within an
architecture or consulting firm, or
independent contractors. Many
transition planners are clinicians
