The fungible facility: constructing an ideal setting for restructuring.
In summary, the ideal facility for a restructured hospital is highly flexible and adaptive. It is fungible. The more fungible, the more it will promote optimal performance in the long-term. Let's face it. Whether you are constructing a new or even launching a major renovation of an existing floor plan, a chance like this doesn't come along every day. For the sake of your restructuring initiative, and your hospital, make the most of it. Don't stop at what the facility should look like--allowing it to be merely the cosmetic by-product of other restructuring action steps. Go for what the facility should be like--giving it an important action step of its own. The Fungible Facility. With this, you'll make the most of that chance!
