This document discusses strategies for health systems to prepare for uncertainties in the future through smart master planning. It provides an overview of common issues facing healthcare design and planning. It then discusses different considerations for academic medical centers, community health systems, specialty-based health systems, and regional multi-state systems. The document emphasizes strategies like flexibility, resiliency, and adaptability. It also discusses how health systems have responded to disasters and other unexpected events through master planning.

13. With so much
change and
uncertainties in
Healthcare…
• What strategies
prepare & ready
us for change?
• What will an
acute care
campus look like
in the future?
14. If you are an Academic Medical Center or Teaching Facility
• Will you be a large D&T platform with
Critical Care Beds?
• Will you be involved with Research –
Transitional Medicine?
• Will you be part of a system?
• How do you integrate with that system?
15. If you represent a Community Health System
• What is your plan for community &
population health changes?
• What do you think your bed count will
look like?
• Do you have all private rooms?
• What is your plan to get to that model?
• How is the Baby Boomer health needs
impacting your planning?
16. If you represent a Stand-Alone or Specialty-based Health System
• Are you concerned about your place
& competitive advantage?
• How are you responding to increased
threats from competitors?
• Are you planning to provide for all
patient service needs?
• What is your facility response to these
questions?
17. If you are part of a regional, multi-state system
• How is your system developing service
lines across many hospitals?
• What challenges are you encountering?
• Are you considering closing your
lower performing facilities?
18. • Policy impacts
On top of these systemic healthcare issues…
• We have experienced infrastructure
challenges from natural disasters.
• Encounter unexpected epidemics
• Ever changing landscape of HC delivery
• High-level security
19. How do we respond as hospitals, systems, an industry to these complex issues?

Honor Roll
23. Whitecap Health Advisors Role in Facility Master Planning
Whitecap works with clients and architects to bridge the gap from strategic to facility planning by
providing analytical rationale and strategic context for decision-making
24. Framework for Anticipating the Future
FACT
We don’t know what will happen in the future – and be wary of
people saying they do!
FACT
Many past predictions have been proven wrong or materialized
in a way we didn’t necessarily anticipate
FACT
There are some trends that are fairly robust, and suggest a
potential direction
FACT
Health systems will have to continue to make consequential
decisions in the face of incomplete information
25. Capital Asset Planning Tenets
#1 Capital asset investments must enable institutional strategy, not lead institutional strategy
#2
Institutions should seek to maximize existing assets when strategically and operationally practical
before committing to new capital dollars
#3
Capital asset decision making should factor in strategic, operational, facility, and financial assessments
and considerations
#4 Capital asset planning must include rigorous financial planning to ensure affordability
#5 Health System should not attempt to resolve operational issues with capital solutions
#6 Important to build in longitudinal pivot points (flexibility) to adapt to dynamic markets
26. Rob’s Lessons Learned
Stick to planning fundamentals: A health system will have greater success by understanding market
dynamics and using reasonable forecasting assumptions and throughput benchmarks
The patient care continuum matters: Make sure you aren’t over (or under) investing in any one area of
the patient care continuum (e.g., investing in ambulatory at the expense of acute care)
Forge strong patient relationships: Creating stronger, longer lasting relationships with patients matter
more today than in years past
Incorporate facility flexibility: Flexibility matters but not at the expense of patient privacy and minimum
customer expectations
Be weary of unicorns: Be careful about getting too out-in-front of intriguing (but unvetted) concepts
especially with unfamiliar payment models
Keep moving forward: Just be methodical in your actions and make informed, vetted planning decisions
