Strategic Hospital Resources

we believe that the key to a successful healthcare facility design starts with a thorough understanding of the clinical services to be provided – and then determining the equipment required to effectively and efficiently provide those services. the equipment utility requirements are then determined so that the architectural spaces and mechanical / electrical services can then be properly sized and oriented to provide the most functional layouts and configurations. this “inside / out” design philosophy allows us to get it right the first time and saves the project many dollars by avoiding costly changes during construction. the healthcare industry is facing demands to improve efficiency, clinical outcomes and safety against a backdrop of escalating costs. haphazard introduction of new technology into a complex environment leads to “technology crowding”, increased cost and increased risk of adverse events. shr sees the medical equipment planner as an integral member of the design team. w
