Facility Planning for Pediatric Providers:
A number of major trends, such as regional consolidation of pediatric tertiary/quaternary care, changes in the mix of inpatient and outpatient services, sicker patient populations including growing volumes of NICU graduates requiring unique care throughout their childhood, new treatment patterns, advances in technology, and the need to optimize operational efficiencies, are exerting significant impact on children’s hospital facility planning. Health care organizations must also allocate scarce capital resources for facilities within the context of the organization's strategic and program priorities.
