Minimizing Disruption During Hospital Renovation
BY STEVEN C. MYNSBERGE Embarking on a major renovation in a critical care health care environment, if not well thought out, could lead to major disruptions in day-to-day operations, ultimately affecting the quality of patient care. Being aware of potential problems that may arise and employing strategies to avoid them will minimize the impact of construction on ongoing operations and reduce the inconvenience for everyone coming in contact with the project.
