title: Strategic benefits of master facility plans.
abstract: In recent years, many healthcare executives have stopped developing master facility plans due to some basic misconceptions about them, namely that master facility plans are too rigid or require major capital commitment. By getting past these misconceptions, healthcare executives can help their organizations develop and implement master facility plans that serve as flexible, reliable blueprints in guiding the organizations toward achieving their strategic, operational, and financial goals.
