PHILADELPHIA, March 9, 2023 ~ At the SquareFootage Summit in Philadelphia on March 1, Deb Sheehan, DPR Construction's healthcare market strategy leader, discussed the essential shift in facility design and construction from "cost per square foot" to "value per square foot" for patients, healthcare workers, and communities. She was joined by Natalie Hagerty, Senior Director of Facilities Planning + Design for the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
Sheehan explored how healthcare providers are confronting today's financial challenges by looking at key factors affecting market dynamics. These include a weakening of physician loyalty among consumers under age 50 who are being wooed by new market entrants, as well as the rise of high deductible health plans leading to price sensitivity and consumer research into health providers and care options.
Health organizations must consider payer reimbursement policies and consumer preferences when assessing growth strategies. Home-based care models, telehealth, and patient engagement tools are becoming more prevalent to meet the demand for access outside traditional facilities.

"As new market entrants apply retail strategies in outpatient care," said Sheehan, "hospitals are challenged to reimagine how to deliver care in non-hospital settings as part of their long-term planning. Integrated solutions that improve convenient access, user experience, and care delivery efficiency are vital to aid health organizations in restoring financial health and viability."
Flexibility, speed-to-market, and efficiency have become the new currency of building design and construction as organizations shift focus to total cost of ownership. This includes larger operational expenses such as labor costs, supplies costs, and energy costs that impact budgets.
