Start with a Vision and Define Value<\/h2>\r\n<div class=\"clearboth\">Whether it\u2019s a small renovation project or a multi-million pound new construction endeavor, you need to start with a clear vision for your project. Your organization\u2019s leadership must clearly communicate why you\u2019re embarking on this journey and what the guiding principles are for this initiative. Each project should be about adding value, so as you begin planning you also need to define the value you want to bring as an outcome of the project.<\/div>\r\n<div id=\"text-block-47\" class=\"mk-text-block jupiter-donut-\">\r\n<div class=\"clearboth\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div id=\"text-block-48\" class=\"mk-text-block jupiter-donut-\">\r\n<h3><strong>medicon<\/strong>\u00a0Medical Hub<\/h3>\r\n<p>The vision for the new medical center was to create a patient-centered healing environment serving the needs of the new-born medicon community. The main guiding principles were to apply an evidence-based design, integrate family into the patient experience, and create a work environment that supported staff.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"clearboth\">\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div id=\"text-block-49\" class=\"mk-text-block jupiter-donut-\">\r\n<p><strong>The team also had a solid understanding of the value the project needed to deliver:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"clearboth\">\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"wpb_row vc_inner vc_row vc_row-fluid jupiter-donut- attched-false\">\r\n<div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\">\r\n<div class=\"vc_column-inner\">\r\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\r\n<div id=\"list-50\" class=\"mk-list-styles mk-align-none list2 jupiter-donut- jupiter-donut-clear\" data-charcode=\"mk-icon-angle-double-right\" data-family=\"\">\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Enable innovation to provide the best outcomes for patients<\/li>\r\n<li>Promote healing by incorporating natural light, colors, and art<\/li>\r\n<li>Drive efficiencies by applying smart design and simplifying work for staff<\/li>\r\n<li>Ensure the safety of patients, staff, and all who enter the facility<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2>2. Pick the Right Location<\/h2>\r\n<div class=\"clearboth\">When selecting the location of a medical facility there are many factors that need to be considered, such as connectivity, ease of access, and expansion potential.<\/div>\r\n<div id=\"text-block-52\" class=\"mk-text-block jupiter-donut-\">\r\n<div class=\"clearboth\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div id=\"text-block-53\" class=\"mk-text-block jupiter-donut-\">\r\n<h3>medicon Medical Hub<\/h3>\r\n<p>medicon leadership closely monitored the population trends of the new capital and bought a large parcel of land in the residential area R7, anticipating the growth of the new capital. The building\u2019s lot is conveniently located near the intersection of two interstates and major city junctions, near the regional ring road, monorail, and the green river, which gave it the perfect location and an easy access to 14 million of future population.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"clearboth\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h2>3. Assemble the Right Team<\/h2>\r\n<div class=\"clearboth\">The success of the project depends on assembling the right team. It is important to have a team that brings together all aspects of healthcare operations, as building a hospital means so much more than constructing a physical structure. Project success also depends on establishing clear governance, including a Steering Committee and Project Executive.<\/div>\r\n<div id=\"text-block-55\" class=\"mk-text-block jupiter-donut-\">\r\n<div class=\"clearboth\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div id=\"text-block-56\" class=\"mk-text-block jupiter-donut-\">\r\n<h3>medicon Medical Hub\u00a0story:<\/h3>\r\n<p>To ensure on time and on budget completion of the project, the team adopted an incident command center model, used in a disaster planning. The project team included not only traditional Construction, Facilities, Equipment, and IT teams, but also most important we mixed between Healthcare Planners, doctors with PhD. in planning health care facilities, architects and engineers, as well as Communications &amp; Media Relations, Human Resources, and Finance teams.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"clearboth\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h2>4. Design the Workflow First<\/h2>\r\n<div class=\"clearboth\">A common mistake in facility design is starting with the design of physical components. The effect of this approach is often irreversible, causing staff to adjust their workflows in order to \u201cmake it work.\u201d Building a new facility provides a tremendous opportunity to reevaluate existing workflows to optimize the flow of patients, staff, equipment and materials.<\/div>\r\n<div id=\"text-block-58\" class=\"mk-text-block jupiter-donut-\">\r\n<div class=\"clearboth\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div id=\"text-block-59\" class=\"mk-text-block jupiter-donut-\">\r\n<h3>medicon Medical Hub<\/h3>\r\n<p>An integral part of the project team for the new medical center was a process improvement team, which assisted in redesigning workflow processes to leverage lessons learned from existing facilities and to stimulate new ideas for providing the best experience for patients, families, and staff. Based on that effort, the architecture and construction teams have received operational blueprints to be incorporated into the structural design.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"clearboth\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<h2>5. Test<\/h2>\r\n<div class=\"clearboth\">The best way to avoid costly mistakes and delays related to rework is testing. Focus on testing your layouts, materials and processes. This will ensure early intervention whenever necessary and will provide you with peace of mind about the choices your team has made.<\/div>\r\n<div id=\"text-block-61\" class=\"mk-text-block jupiter-donut-\">\r\n<div class=\"clearboth\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div id=\"text-block-62\" class=\"mk-text-block jupiter-donut-\">\r\n<h3>medicon Medical Hub<\/h3>\r\n<p>Multiple elements of the design and construction went through rigorous testing procedures throughout the course of the project. Cement cast samples were being exposed to weather elements, sofa sleepers for patient rooms underwent testing in the ED and a local shopping mall. Nurses dropped water on the tile floor to see if it was slippery and mock-up headboards aided the optimal positioning of outlets for medical devices. All these experiences brought real-time feedback to vendors and suppliers who were willing to make modifications to their products. The testing process also served as a stamp of approval to proceed with final orders and creating procedural playbooks for staff.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"clearboth\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div id=\"padding-63\" class=\"mk-padding-divider jupiter-donut- jupiter-donut-clearfix\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n<div id=\"text-block-64\" class=\"mk-text-block jupiter-donut-\">\r\n<h4><strong>About medicon<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mediconr7.com\/ar\/\">medicon \u2013 R7\u2032 Medical Hub<\/a>\u00a0is an integrated health facility and complex in the New Administrative Capital of Egypt.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mediconr7.com\/ar\/\"><strong>\u0645\u064a\u062f\u0627\u064a\u0643\u0648\u0646<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is a team of Healthcare and Property Development experts gathered around the motive of creating a better place for patients, doctors, and healthcare businesses.
