Facility Planning & Capital Investment Strategy

The health care industry is undergoing dramatic changes in organization, delivery, payment systems, and technology that directly affect how health care facilities are used, planned, financed, and built. Aging facilities, capacity issues, and new regulatory requirements create additional burdens at a time when access to capital dollars is becoming increasingly difficult.

ACS Healthcare Solutions uses a multidisciplinary approach to facility planning integrates strategic business planning, operations redesign, financial analysis, and equipment/technology planning, with facility planning. Unlike design architects (who may benefit financially from recommending large building projects), we provide an objective assessment of our client’s actual facility needs, supported by a foundation of market, utilization, operations, and financial data. Using our comprehensive approach to facility planning, ACS Healthcare Solutions can save you millions of dollars in unnecessary renovation and construction costs, as well as help create new revenue streams, and reduce ongoing operational costs.

Our facility planning services include:

• Evaluation of facility layout, space allocation, and capacity
• Development of a facility master plan to guide facility investments over a multi-year period
• Providing a second opinion regarding major capital investments and performing return on investment (ROI) analyses
• Facility impact planning for newly merged organizations
• Detailed functional and space programming for new or renovated facilities, including “centers of excellence”
• Development of space standards for multihospital systems
• Implementation assistance
