Medical equipment is highly complex and its technology is ever evolving. It demands a high level of knowledge of the precise installation measures, design standards and environmental conditions for proper functioning. These requirements present numerous design challenges while also considering the intricate logistics and lowering overall costs.
Understanding system requirements
System coordination is an important aspect of hospital/clinic design, even more so as digitalization evolves. Lighting, alarms and ventilation are some examples of systems that must all be synchronized. The operations themselves, the sophisticated apparatus and the surgical instruments require precise environmental condition depending on their application; our specialists ensure factors such as humidity and temperature are optimal, and that the systems also support infection control, essential for the safe treatment of patients.
Health systems are rethinking facility design, workflow, and use of space as care continues to move into the community. Architects, construction managers, and facility planners need the guidance of medical equipment planners (MEP) to efficiently and effectively, and at the lowest cost, address the most pressing market demands which involve four top priorities:
- Adapt acute care hospitals for flexible use of space
- Expand ambulatory services
- Integrate telehealth and digital medicine
- Improve the patient experience
Medical equipment planning
Traditional MEP companies, who base their services on vendor recommendations and out-sourced expertise, are finding it challenging to accurately advise on medical equipment pricing trends and evolving patient care issues that affect your bottom line.
