Healthcare strategic planning

Healthcare organizations must understand the new opportunities they have to position their facilities to deliver the best patient outcomes. From technology to philosophical shifts, healthcare is changing at an incredible pace, making the planning of healthcare environments and delivery systems more complex than ever before.

Hospitals should consider their viability in a world of increased patient choice, as well as their strategy to attract and retain talent, best practices, and patients. We help hospitals identify their core competencies and portfolio of offerings and ensure that these are in line with market demands

At Acumen Global we will redefine operational efficiencies, quality and safety. We help our clients improve the health of patients and communities at lower costs.

This multidisciplinary group of clinicians, administrators, architects and medical equipment planners provides a comprehensive problem-solving approach, integrating operational, strategic and financial requirements into the facility planning process.

Operational Process Improvement

We help our clients implement operational improvement by initiating a method called process mapping or value-stream mapping.

This allows health care organizations to identify the fastest, most cost-effective, and highest-quality methods for completing the steps in a care process, and also to remove steps that do not add any value.

Implementation requires a number of important changes to the way a hospital works: Key elements include its approach to strategic planning, organizational model, culture, and capabilities

These standardized procedures are particularly valuable in health care, as many medical staff are often involved in a single care event. The structure of a mapped process ensures complex tasks are completed as efficiently and accurately as possible.

Research

We study how health choices influence total health and productivity, quality of life, vitality and health care economics throughout a lifetime. Research shows Hospital-specific management practices are strongly related to a hospital's quality of patient care and productivity outcomes. We know that improved management practices in hospitals are associated with significantly lower mortality rates and better financial performance.

Our global practice is made up of people committed to partnering with clients to be responsible stewards for the environment. We deliver solutions that satisfy people's needs, improve the environment and provide value for our clients while creating lively, memorable places.

Our ability to integrate high performance into all our planning and research solutions, combined with our sustainable consulting expertise, enables AGC to provide life-cycle sustainable services for clients.
