Healthcare Facilities: Meeting The Demands of Tomorrow

The current healthcare market is saturated with dialogue on the importance of delivering quality care and improving patient outcomes – and the collaboration between payors and providers will be increasingly important for industry leaders to deliver on these expectations.

According to Navigant’s Healthcare Real Estate practice, new healthcare facilities should be a catalyst for organizational change that drives high quality, low cost care. As it stands, healthcare providers will not be able to deliver healthcare of the future in buildings of the past. Facilities are essential to supporting emerging technology, attracting and maintaining top talent and meeting the level of patient care that will be mandated by private insurers and/or the government moving forward.

At the same time, medical providers are scrambling to implement innovative processes and facility improvements to meet high quality care standards, all-the-while struggling with weak balance sheets, limited access to capital and an unclear regulatory landscape. Navigant’s Healthcare Real Estate experts have extensive experience helping clients develop creative financing strategies to meet capital needs, and can discuss several viable solutions healthcare executives should consider.

The following series provides Navigant’s perspective on the role of facilities in meeting payor and provider standards for patient care, as well as capital funding strategies to meet healthcare facility development needs. 

"Facilities, like technology, are an enabler. Aged facilities are behind from a competitive as well as asset-efficiency standpoint, and modernizing improves efficiency and attracts patients and physicians."
