For Immediate Release (06/10/09)

Architecture for Radiology, LLP --- the only architecture firm in the United States that specializes exclusively in radiology facility planning and design --- is pleased to announce the upcoming publication of an article on recent trends in radiology design and radiology planning.

The article will be published in the July 2009 edition of Hospital Newspaper.

The article discusses the latest trends in radiology design and radiology planning, including the following issues:

- The fields of radiology and design for radiology have undergone numerous changes due to groundbreaking advances in technology,
- Development of digital imaging and PACS (picture archiving and communication systems)
- Rethinking the radiology environment from the point of view of patients, radiologist and staff, with the general goals of radiology facilities which increase patient and staff comfort, patient privacy, staff safety, and greater efficiency, speed, and through-put in the radiology workflow..
- Significant increases in worker productivity and improvements in the radiology workflow
- Eliminating film developing facilities, and also eliminating --- or at least drastically reducing --- the need for physical storage of hard copy films.
- Increases in legibility and reliability of scans
- Quicker responsiveness to patients.
- Reading room design.
- Ergonometrics for the new digital reading room
- Contemporary reading room must allow for future adaptability.
- Making the radiologists’ reading stations more comfortable, easier to use, and allowing for more control over the environment. Some more specific reading room design initiatives are listed below:
- Limiting Distractions
- Climate Control
- Seating and Positioning Adjustability
- Lighting specifications
- Unification of Systems
- Advances in scanning technologies. Among the most significant: 3.0T MRI’s are the upcoming standard in MRI design, multi-slice CT’s are the same for cat scan design, and digital mammography in the latest in mammography design.
- Mobile scanning equipment, such as portable CT
- Improvements in patient’s experience
- Philips “Ambient Experience”
- Relative growth of private practice radiology over academic, hospital-based radiology
- Opportunities for further development and improvement in the design of radiology facilities
- Patient comfort within the scanning machines s
- Advantages to separating healthy outpatients from very sick inpatients
- Separating women into a women’s center vs. co-mingling male and female throughout
- How the equipment will be changed out in future vs. concern exclusively with initial equipment access to space
- Green design --- eco-friendly design that is good for the environment as well as the patient --- is working its way through the healthcare environment, including the radiology department.
- Increased use of interventional radiology and surgical codes

New Article Published on Radiology Office Planning and Design

2009-05-29T19:53:00.000-07:00

For Immediate Release (05/27/09)

New Article Published on Radiology Office Planning and Design

Architecture for Radiology, LLP --- the only architecture firm in the United States that specializes exclusively in radiology facility planning and design --- is pleased to announce the publication of an article on how the concept of universal room design can address the commonplace problem that decision-making on the purchase of major medical equipment often lags the schedule for upfront planning and design of the radiology department or radiology practice.

The article has been published in the June 2009 edition of Hospital Newspaper.

The article is entitled: “Utilizing Universal Room Design in Fast Track Healthcare Projects Involving Major Medical Equipment Purchases”.

The article discusses the latest hospital planning and hospital design trends, in the area of radiology offices, including the following issues:
- Why does the architect need the equipment specs?
- Types of engineering infrastructure involved in a radiology project
- What happens when radiologists and/or radiology administrators change their minds about equipment specifications
- How much impact do changes to medical equipment specifications have on a design and construction project schedule and budget?
- If you do change your mind about a major medical equipment purchase, when is the best time to do it working with consultants radiology such as Architecture for Radiology?
- How can the design of what is called a "universal room" mitigate to some degree the costs (both financial and in terms of schedule delay) of equipment changes?

The article was written by the firm’s principle, well-known radiology architect, William N. Bernstein, LEED®AP, AIA. Mr. Bernstein is a graduate of the Yale University School of Architecture, who has specialized in healthcare design and construction for over 30 years.

Just-in-Time Healthcare Project Management Services

2008-12-30T12:45:00.000-08:00

As the economy slows, and construction budgets and schedules are cut, clients may wish to consider Just-in-Time Healthcare Project Management.

Unlike conventional Healthcare Project Management services --- which start at the beginning of the project and conclude at the close-out --- Just-in-Time Healthcare Project Management is essentially an a la carte program for introducing Healthcare project management services at what are often crisis points in the life of a construction project.

The most common target of Just-in-Time Healthcare Project Management is a project that is in trouble, as an example: a project that is over-budget, missing critical project deadlines and/or where construction team dynamics have deteriorated and need to be reconstituted to allow the team to function more effectively.

The most common insertion points for Just-in-Time Healthcare Project Management are as follows:
- site selection
- programming
- design
- construction bid and award
- construction phase
- post construction

The most common Just-in-Time Healthcare Project Management services fall into one or more of these areas:
- Cost: Cost Reduction, Cost Control, and Cost Monitoring
- Schedule: Schedule Reduction, Schedule Control, Schedule Monitoring
- Approvals: Expediting approval at the Planning Department, Building Department, Fire Department and/or State Health Department
- Close Out: Punchlist, Close Out Procedures and Documents, Commissioning, Financial Reconciliation/Resolution

For more information about Just-in-Time Healthcare Project Management, please contact Healthcare project management consultants and Healthcare owner's representatives, Empire Projects, Inc.:

New Program to Reduce Healthcare Construction Costs in 2009

2008-12-29T15:02:00.000-08:00

New Program to Reduce Healthcare Construction Costs in 2009

With a greater need than ever to cut healthcare costs, more and more healthcare clients have asked well-known healthcare project management firm, Empire Projects, Inc, a simple question: "How Can We Reduce Construction Costs in 2009?"

In response, the firm has developed a concise Construction Cost Reduction Program for clients looking to reduce their healthcare capital costs for construction in 2009.

The cost control program is set up to value engineer projects in detail, at (5) critical project stages: programming, schematic design, construction documents, construction bidding, and construction.

The program can be utilized for all (5) critical project phases, or can be employed at just one or more of the phases.

Potential healthcare construction cost savings are usually a minimum of 5% of construction cost, and can exceed 20% in certain cases.

The construction cost savings generated through this program greatly exceed the fees charged by EPI to implement it. In addition, the value engineering process creates leaner and better projects.

For more information on how this program can help control and reduce your healthcare construction costs in 2009, please contact:
