Keeping capital supple for future flexibility.
In a follow-up to a paper published in Health Estate Journal in February, Capitalising in the long term, Bernd Rechel, Stephen Wright, Barrie Dowdeswell, Nigel Edwards, and Martin McKee report on the findings of a research project into the financing, design and building of innovative European hospitals. One of the key conclusions was the need to build into new healthcare facilities, from the outset, sufficient flexibility to cater for fast-changing care patterns and evolving technologies.
