Project Description
BCS was engaged by St. John’s Hospital to develop a Master Facility Plan that prepares the organization for future growth. Components of the plan include service line projections, space and gap analysis, a conceptual budget, and an evaluation of departmental utilization rates, patient flow, and other functional adjacencies.
| Master Facility Plan Objectives |
 |
Develop “within the walls” growth opportunities along with “outside the walls”
expansion strategies |
|
Outline non-capital intensive alternatives to improving capacity and productivity |
|
Develop a plan that ensures future flexibility and expandability while maintaining a patient and family focus |
| Unique Challenges |
|
HealthEast Care System, which includes St. John’s Hospital, has three hospitals all within twenty minutes of each other, resulting in overlapping markets |
|
The addition and/or expansion of service lines is limited because St. John’s is at or near its inpatient bed capacity |
|
Future growth is impeded due to the campus’ current location; The campus is set next to a main thoroughfare and is directly adjacent to a medical office building not owned by St. John’s, thus limiting growth in those directions |
Solutions
BCS developed a Master Facility Plan that includes two options for St. John’s Hospital. Option one includes a single floor vertical expansion to address the hospital’s short-term inpatient needs. The second option is a phased combination of a vertical expansion and a new outpatient pavilion tower. This option addresses the campus’ growing inpatient space needs and strategically adds additional outpatient service lines without impeding upon other HealthEast Care System campuses. The plan also includes the option for future vertical expansion as the hospital’s inpatient needs
continue to grow.
