Safety and security concepts for clinics

SAFETY AND SECURITY CONCEPTS FOR CLINICS

Even before the coronavirus pandemic we appreciated the important role played by hospitals, clinics and doctor’s practices in society. Given their level of importance, it is imperative to minimise the risk of such healthcare real estate suffering outages or being compromised. This is an obligation for each hospital under healthcare regulations as part of their mandate to provide healthcare. 

HOW WELL ARE YOU PREPARED FOR SAFETY- AND SECURITY-RELATED SITUATIONS?

  • Do your operational and emergency management systems meet current standards and are they generally state-of-the-art? 
  • Do you have a current alarm and action plan, including an alert structure, for your hospital? 
  • Do you have a current alert structure for your staff and officers? 
  • Are you adequately prepared for emergencies such as failure of technical infrastructure or the loss of public utilities (critical infrastructure requirements)? 
  • Does the building structure meet current standards with regard to protection against acts of violence or similar (burglary, theft, vandalism)? 
  • How can your hospital respond flexibly and cost-effectively to epidemic and pandemic response plans? 
  • How do you ensure effective crisis management and Business Continuity Management (BCM) in an emergency? 
  • Does your personnel and service provider management take crises and emergencies into account? 
  • Do logistics and stockpiling policies need to be changed? How can you create redundancy in these areas? 

YOU HAVE TO ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING POINTS

  • Legal requirements and recommendations 
  • Critical infrastructure 
  • Ensure adequate physical and digital protection of data (BSI data security) 
  • Update operational organisation and crisis management for the next medical crisis

SMART HOSPITAL – INTELLIGENT PROCESSES FOR HOSPITALS

To remain viable, hospitals must clearly define their digital process requirements. Only on this basis can they develop a sound digitization strategy. But there is often confusion as to the status of digitization in an organization.  

Our experts use the Quick Check to provide a fast and sound answer to this question. And we can further consult on the future expandability and flexibility regarding the IT infrastructure.

REPURPOSING CONCEPTS FOR HOSPITALS

The future of many hospitals is not certain. With hospital facilities becoming technically obsolete, many hospital owners are increasingly facing the question of what to do with real estate that is no longer required, and what future use would make sense given the current market and situation at the location.  

We can consult on such re-purposing or re-branding and define that usage which will make the best out of the existing situation.

CONTRACT AWARD STRATEGY FOR HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

Hospital and clinic construction projects often face challenges due to the excessive number of specialized equipment, which conventionally will result in a multitude of work packages and purchase contracts. On the other hand, there are hospital General Contractors who will combine all clinically relevant packages under their umbrella.  

Each strategy has its pros and cons, and often the right mixture of both concepts is the formula for project success. Our specialists consult on such contract award strategies, identify together with the Client the ones which are most suitable for the given project, and support with their implementation.
