How We Help Clients
Modern Day Solutions
Informed Planning, Purpose-Built Design
Most firms in our line of work still do things the old-fashioned way. They immediately assume that a huge architectural project is the solution, no matter what the challenges may be. We believe this shortsighted view may lead to a shiny new facility, but it won’t solve underlying operational and cultural challenges or serve your ultimate goals and objectives – and our team has the experience, data and benchmarks to prove it.
The Huddy HealthCare approach to healthcare planning and design is internationally unique. We take a holistic approach, drilling down into your institution’s data in order to garner the big picture as well as the critical details. In the end, a new or updated facility may be the right decision, but it will be the right-sized facility to support future workflow, within a tight budget, to deliver high-performance.
Leading, Teaming, Consulting
We can lead a planning or design project from beginning-to-end as your Client Representative or assist architectural, engineering and construction firms in any part of defining, programming, shaping, designing or implementing a project.
We deliver workflow analysts, healthcare designers and clinical experts who have worked with hundreds of organizations to deliver high-performance design solutions. Our clinical consultants focus on best practice operational results and they understand how the built environment can support lean operations and efficient staffing while elevating patient and staff satisfaction.
Our services generally fall into the four broad categories of Assessment, Scoping, Design, and Continued Measurement.
Assessment
Benchmarking & Goal Setting
We assist our clients in assessing their current operational, technological and environmental assets, including 250 operational and facility components in 12 categories. We benchmark results against similar institutions and define quantifiable goals and objectives that will guide a successful strategic, process improvement or facility planning project.
Scoping
Visioning, Projections, Operations, Programming
Establishing the scope and budget of a project means understanding how an organization will get from current state to future vision within available and appropriate capital resources. We set a vision for a unique patient experience, quantify future utilization, establish future lean operational workflow patterns, and define project scope to deliver objectives.
Design
High-Performance Facility Solutions
Our planning and design services include feasibility studies, master plans, conceptual planning, or detailed architectural design as part of a project delivery team. We deliver comprehensive solutions that encompass lean operations, beneficial technology applications, efficient staffing and appropriate physical design.
Continued Measurement
Monitoring Successful Project Realization
We have a vested interest in our clients’ success and are committed to the pursuit of inventive and innovative industry solutions. Our clinical experts are there to assist with operational implementation and our analysts monitor data during a prescribed period following project or facility launch in order to gauge workflow and technology efficiency, evaluate patient/personnel satisfaction, and enable nimble adjustments.
