CAPACITY
PLANNING
O'Hara
HealthCare Consultants will help you:
 |
Identify
the scope of your project, including existing conditions
and current workflow, project improvement goals, clinical
guidelines and recommendations with your own valued
resources including clinical chairpersons, nursing directors
and clinical & environmental support staff, as well
as administrative leaders, which will direct your capacity
planning project.
|
|
Determine
the primary space specific architectural considerations
for a project which significantly impact the total system
design including the need for clean contaminated processing
rooms, requirements for airborne isolation, equipment
storage, cubicle size, support spaces, circulation space
and critical adjacencies and flow; handicapped accessibility
and JCAHO patient flow guidelines.
|
|
Evaluate
your program's necessary considerations and available
tools to create your simulation model using existing data
collection reports, IS/IT systems, probability analysis
and more.
|
|
Create
a Planning and Simulation Modeling checklist to begin
your next project including adjacent requirements such
as 'the clinical neighborhood'.
|
|
Compare
improvement goals (operational and case volume), based
on existing systems, with outcomes identified through
simulation modeling such as increased patient volume,
decreased throughput delays, better healthcare staff utilization
and improved patient, family and employee satisfaction.
