The interest of specialists
24-10-2009
Market economical insights have made their entry into healthcare. The patient is client. And a term such as problem-oriented care is already fairly commonly used. The realization of this has consequences for the care offering by institutions. In addition to attention for the quality of the care offered, thought must also be given to the space requirement for that care. Various hospitals are looking for a way to be able to answer the demand for patient care in one location by a limited number of specialists. A type of one-stop-shop offered around various clinical syndromes.
René Kleintjens, information manager general and technical services Academic Hospital Maastricht: “To keep abreast of these developments in the area of accommodations, strategic space management is a must. To know at any moment which space is being used by whom and to be able to immediately and efficiently react to changes on demand. That places high demands on drawing management. Drawings must be up-to-date, available to interested parties at any moment, and able to transmit information to the FMIS.”
