Healthcare organizations across Canada must consider a complex and dynamic set of issues in
planning for the future of their facilities, ranging from community and patient demographics to
clinical services standards. The condition of buildings, systems and equipment is similarly evolving,
as ongoing renewal, replacement and capital programs progress. How can your healthcare organization
successfully align its long-term capital plans with functional objectives?
This webinar illustrates strategies for assessing both facility condition and functional adequacy, and for leveraging that information to create optimal capital plans.
Experts from VFA Canada Corp., Agnew Peckham & Associates, and the British Columbia Ministry of Health Services share their insights about best practice approaches including:
- Methods for evaluating condition & functional adequacy
- A rating system to assist in prioritizing capital initiatives
- Guidelines for benchmarking building condition and functional adequacy
against industry standards
- A framework for evaluating alternatives for capital spending and their
impact over time
