Speaker: Dave Dagenais Health care organizations rely on facility managers to reduce costs, but one critical way to provide value is often overlooked: leadership and advocacy efforts that can save health care organizations significant resources. This webinar will explore ways to get involved beyond your organization to help prevent unnecessary costs and to highlight your value to your organization. The webinar will cover leading proactively, creating patient-centered approaches, advocating for yourself, and avoiding reflexive, defensive actions.

An article was published in the March 2011 issue of Health Facilities Management magazine, which explored 10 forces changing health care design. In this session, the authors of that article present a current perspective on those driving forces. The opening statement of the article provocatively observed that "health care industry professionals who believe the political outcome of the reform debate, alone, will have a dramatic influence on the future of design and construction of health care facilities are sadly mistaken." The presenters discuss the evolution of the factors identified in the article and how they, and other challenges and opportunities, will continue to influence health care design.

  TAKE THE QUIZ

Speakers: Steve Spaanbroek, Hank Wheeler & Mark Etheridge When natural disasters challenge the delivery of patient care, the infrastructure of a health care facility becomes more important than ever. In this session, two individuals whose health care facilities were severely affected by natural disasters will discuss how their organizations prepared for, responded to, and are now planning ahead for out-of-the ordinary events — be it a storm, a rapid influx of patients, or the failure of a utility that supports the facility.
