future of healthcare ?
Strategic Health Facility Consulting

2. Planning for the same
old thing is easy……
If the old strategies and businessdrivers have not
changed, than the easy answers should work.
Keep key doctors happy and productive.
Appeal to the soccer moms who traditionally made all
the family health decisions.
Keep costs on procedures in line, minimize lengths of
stay and push for volume in diagnostics and procedure-
oriented specialties l
Add “centers of excellence” or “Institutes” for heart,
orthopedics and cancer.
Expand a few departments, those that produce
revenue
Replace an outdated bed tower,
Maybe add a new medical office building.
Build more parking
Growth in revenue could justify and cover most projects Copyright 2013 – Tom Fannin

4. What if you are no longer paid “by the piece” ?
What if you are paid to keep people out of the hospital ?
What if the doctors now work for you ?
What if you have to take responsibility for health
of a community ?
What if “optimal wellness at affordable cost” becomes
the objective ?
What if you are financially rewarded on how well you,
your partners and your customers accomplish this ?

5. Has your planning What are the new paradigms for looking
at programs, services and buildings ?
become “another brick
Facilities, infrastructure and “back-of-house”
hung around your neck” ? operations are a fixed cost.
Professional staffing is an adjustable cost.
Supplies and outside services bought on a per
procedure basis are variable costs.
Enrollment, consumer education, screening,
health management services, preventive
services, palliative care, all become tools for
shaping utilization and therefore costs and
satisfactions.
Excess utilization of resources becomes a cost.
Maintaining excess un-used capacity
becomes a cost.
Providing services in the most expensive setting
becomes a cost.
Accessibility for customers, leading to better
low-cost care becomes a strategy.
