When combined with OneEQ’s Equipment Planning and Procurement Services, our Operational and Transition Planning Services provides your new facility with an integrated approach that reduces risk, improves efficiency, and safeguards your capital investment.
Specific services include:
- Project Management: Our team aligns the transition planning activities and milestones with the construction timeline to ensure readiness efforts have adequate time for completion. We create and manage detailed schedules, leading and facilitating meetings with executives, department leaders, and staff.
- Transition Assessment: We review current operations and design intents, tour the site, and gather input through interviews to discover the level of the organization’s readiness for the change. We summarize findings, outlining key strengths, gaps, risks, and recommendations, and share these with leadership.
- Transition Task Committees: We establish and facilitate committee meetings to coordinate critical activities, providing clearly defined roles and monthly progress reporting. Committee tasks are customized to the project according to organizational initiatives, goals, and department specialties. We track all tasks for deadlines, responsibilities, and deliverables; clean dashboards display status and progress.
- Operational Workflows: Using Lean Healthcare principles, we map, evaluate, and refine workflows to address the demands of the new environment and identify staffing needs. This approach improves processes and ensures the workforce is aligned with updated or newly assigned responsibilities.
- Orientation and Training: Using Lean Healthcare principles, we map, evaluate, and refine workflows to address the demands of the new environment and identify staffing needs. This approach improves processes and ensures the workforce is aligned with updated or newly assigned responsibilities.
- Day in the Life: These simulation exercises test the facility’s readiness by replicating routine, unexpected, and high-demand scenarios. Staff gain hands-on experience, enabling them to anticipate challenges and implement solutions before going live in the new space.
- Patient Move: We organize and lead a Patient Move Committee to ensure alignment with patient care objectives and safety protocols. By conducting mock moves, providing logistical support, and training clinical facilitators, we help ensure a seamless and safe transition for patients and staff.
