BOND Healthcare 2018

Synopsis

Healthcare Provider’s investment in infrastructure and capital projects continues to grow, particularly in support of Ambulatory Care, advancement in Tele Health, aging infrastructure, and changing in Federal Legislation. More complex capital projects are underway and others are planned. This creates an urgent need to leverage digital technologies and disruptive innovation.

Capital project risk is higher than ever – from developing markets to complex economies. With multiple stakeholders, increasing complexity, and billions of dollars at stake, organizations must plan for and mitigate against potential risks. Safety, security, and sustainability of large-scale capital projects are imperative. Understanding the governance, people, processes, and tools to ensure the success of large-scale capital projects is vital across all phases of the capital project lifecycle.

Technological innovation has re-shaped the construction industry – from innovative business models to new digital products and processes that boost productivity and enhance efficiency. Disruptive innovation is bringing new players and tools to the marketplace, and it’s changing the way the construction industry operates.

Synopsis

Seminar 3 – Erin Carraher

In a world where technology, project structures, contracts, and construction processes are becoming ever more complex, teams helmed by collaborative leaders are emerging as an alternative to separate parties who guard their individual interests. The teams themselves must be carefully structured in order to support effective behavior, develop innovative solutions, and deliver successful outcomes. To do so requires leadership – collaborative leadership – from architects and other project stakeholders. Leadership and collaboration may at first seem to be contradictory terms. How can architects and design professionals lead and collaborate at the same time? The traditional concept of leadership as a topdown, authoritative structure is re-examined in this book relative to today’s evolving collaborative project delivery models and innovative forms of practice. Who leads project teams when architects, contractors, and owners equally share risks and rewards? What role do leaders play in championing change and innovation? How can leaders and team members learn to better understand and communicate with one another? As leadership is re-examined to allow for a more situational approach, so too does the book question the concept of collaboration as it may typically be used in practice. Beyond merely “working together,” collaboration as defined in this book is a much deeper commitment to a respectful, co-creative process that includes a multiplicity of people, processes, and tools that allow for each project team to more effectively, efficiently, and elegantly respond to the changing needs of today’s practice environment. Though every project, firm, and design professional is unique, this presentation will outline the fundamentals of collaborative practice that foster client buy-in and foster collaboration on project teams.

Synopsis

Based on extensive global research together with MIT Sloan over the past six years, Deloitte has identified four different Digital Archetypes of ways in which organisations deal with Digital Disruptions and Digital Technologies. In his contribution to BOND Healthcare 2018, Hans van Grieken will explain the findings of this global research and how they relate to the healthcare sector of the future. He will specifically touch upon three different aspects of a Digital Transformation Roadmap that are of particular importance to the healthcare sector going forward: Emerging Technologies and how to deal with them, connected patients and digital capabilities and how “digital” is being perceived by Healthcare professionals (insights taken from Deloitte’s recently published Time to Care research amongst European hospital professionals). Hans will end up his contribution to the conference describing the nine big shifts in Digital Technology Operating Models that hospitals will need to understand to become “future proof” in their Digital Habitat as well.

Synopsis

23.7 million Americans have vision loss that cannot be corrected with glasses or contact lenses. Many of these individuals have some usable vision, but they are impaired in ways that significantly affect their ability to perform everyday activities. ADA standards and existing building codes do not adequately address the needs of the visually impaired. How can the design of environments accommodate the mobility issues of visually impaired individuals and enhance the safety for others, including the elderly, who may have to operate under visually-challenged conditions?

The term “visual accessibility” refers to design and building considerations that maximize the abilities of individuals, perhaps with limited vision, to travel efficiently and safely through an environment, to perceive the spatial layout of key features in the environment, and to keep track of one’s location in a layout. Research findings from human perception and spatial cognition studies suggest that certain local and global features of the built environment may influence the perception of architecture and therefore navigation and interaction in physical space. This includes pertinent cross-discipline design parameters (architecture, interiors, and lighting design) to improve visual navigation.
