Our secret is in the data; your data.

Huddy HealthCare’s team of strategic, clinical, operational and facility planning specialists take a multi-faceted approach to developing optimal solutions for your organization.

We begin by carefully mining and analyzing your institution’s data. Next we identify internal and external variables that will impact your organization within the coming decade.

Develop data-driven planning and design solutions
Determine utilization projections and service-demand forecasting
Test and quantify the flexibility of potential solutions
Maximize performance with planning and process improvement
Leverage the use of interactive tools to avoid siloed solutions

Refrain from “overbuilding”, reducing future space needs and project costs
Integrate strategic facility master planning with performance metrics
Increase capacity and reduce average duration of stay
Ascertain scope definition and budgeting within available resources
Define “speed to market” implementation, design, and construction schedules

The $37M Emergency Department at Grace Hospital, Winnipeg, is designed to accommodate 36,000 annual visits in a flexible modular design that has the ability to accordion up and down to meet daily volume surges. Jon Huddy was a design consultant to FT3 Architects and completed operational analysis, lean operational planning, functional programming, space programming and schematic planning. These services were delivered through an interactive Kaizen design process that included room mock-ups and role playing to define the most efficient size and configuration of the major spaces in the emergency department. The (8) MTA (Minor Treatment Area), (2) Resuscitation, and (4) Ambulance Stretcher Staging spaces are flexible with the (24) Main Emergency Care Spaces.
