Facility Transformation & Development

Clinical needs should drive the decision to build or transform facilities and shape facility design. Starting with the clinical need, Burwood Group consultants help clients understand the physical and workflow implications of information flow in different care settings. Designing a facility for optimum information flow can reduce costs, reduce the opportunity for wasted effort and errors, and improve the patient experience. Burwood Group works as an integral part of the design and construction team, with hospital staff, architects, and construction companies.

 

IT Design Review

At the start of a project, our consultants work with hospital staff, architects, and construction companies on building designs that flow from patient care, clinical workflow, and information exchange objectives. We help prevent oversights and costly change orders and assist transformation teams in designing an environment that supports optimum patient care.

 

Clinical Technology Transition Planning

Burwood Group specialists take a floor-by-floor, unit- by –unit approach in developing a comprehensive transition plan. The plan addresses logistics, new technical and infrastructure requirements, clinician readiness, work flow adjustments that may be needed, problem remediation, licensing, training and compliance issues, and post implementation monitoring and support needs.

 

IT Validation and Commissioning

Before a transition, our consultants validate new clinical and operational work flows as well as the performance of new and integrated technologies to ensure clinical interoperability.

 

Training and Technology Adoption

Working with clinicians and others affected by a transition, Burwood Group develops training and assessment programs to assure that all are educated about the reasons for the change, comfortable with new technologies and work flows, and are well prepared for the changes that will occur.
