Challenge

The Evolution of Medical Equipment

Medical equipment coordination is endemic to any major healthcare project; like technology, it evolves rapidly. The longer an owner can defer final selections, the better positioned to take advantage of the latest innovations. Once selections are committed, affected building spaces must be customized to accommodate the selected equipment/options with respect to space, power, data, and HVAC. With 20 operating rooms, including two hybrid operating rooms, an聽Interventional MRI Suite, a custom Burn Operating Room, and a CT Suite, significant portions of the project were subject to schedule impact.

Solution

Proactive and Intentional Management

The project team chose to embrace this challenge early, purposively managing information through the pre-construction process, the partnering process, and into the construction phase. The owner developed and shared their detailed Medical Equipment Matrix, sortable by multiple criteria from room location to power/data needs, etc. 蜜桃传媒最新版下载 overlaid the locations and MEP requirements with the project schedule to identify first system need and provide selection need-by dates for each type of equipment.

Result

Commitment to Providing the Best Healthcare Facility for the Galveston Community

Our proactive process identified areas most subject to revision, allowing the team to plan maximum flexibility to adapt to the eventual selection. Overall, the team鈥檚 proactive and intentional management of the challenge was absolutely crucial to the owner鈥檚 selection process and the project鈥檚 schedule success.

Due to the devastation of Hurricane Ike back in 2008, the planning and construction of the new Jennie Sealy Replacement Hospital evolved to mitigate the impact of a future potential storms. This construction project was vital for the faculty, students and the entire community that depends on UTMB鈥檚 presence. Our commitment to rebuild gave hope to all, that UTMB would stand for years to come in service to the community. This project emphasizes the assurance we have on providing the best possible environment for patients, physicians and nurses to care for patients in a setting that nurtures and enriches the learning experience for all students.
