The Next Big Thing in Healthcare? Global Neighborhood Hospitals on the Rise!

The Next Big Thing in Healthcare? Global Neighborhood Hospitals on the Rise! The Next Big Thing in Healthcare? Global Neighborhood Hospitals on the Rise! In recent years, neighborhood hospitals have been popping up all over the world, aiming to improve access to healthcare for local communities. These small-scale hospitals offer a range of medical services, from emergency care to surgeries, and have been touted as the future of healthcare. So what exactly are neighborhood hospitals, and why are they gaining popularity so quickly? What are Global Neighborhood Hospitals? Neighborhood hospitals, also known as community hospitals or micro-hospitals, are small medical facilities that offer a more personalized and accessible approach to healthcare. These hospitals are typically located in residential neighborhoods and cater to a specific community's needs. Neighborhood hospitals are equipped with essential medical facilities and diagnostic equipment such as x-rays, ultrasounds, and blood tests that are necessary for most medical procedures. They have the staff, equipment, and resources required to handle unexpected medical emergencies. They are not intended to replace large-scale hospitals but rather to provide an alternative healthcare option for minor injuries and illnesses. The advantages of Global Neighborhood Hospitals Neighborhood hospitals offer a wide range of benefits over traditional hospitals. Here are a few of the advantages that make them so appealing: - Accessibility: One of the biggest advantages of global neighborhood hospitals is access to healthcare for local communities. With small-scale facilities located in residential areas close to their homes, patients are not forced to travel miles for medical attention. - Affordability: Neighborhood hospitals offer cost-effective medical services, usually at a flat rate. This fee structure is ideal for minor procedures and surgeries raised by minor illnesses or injuries. - Personalized Care: Neighborhood hospitals focus on personalized care rather than treating patients as just a number. - Quick Care: With doctors and nurses readily available, neighborhood hospitals allow quicker and more efficient medical attention. The Future of Global Neighborhood Hospitals Neighborhood hospitals' popularity is on the rise, and it is interesting to see how they will shape healthcare in the future. Many countries have started to adopt community hospitals as a means to promote more accessible healthcare services, and the demand for them continues to grow. More neighborhood hospitals are expected to emerge in the coming years, thereby leading to a better healthcare system globally. #Healthcare #NeighborhoodHospitals #CommunityHospitals #MicroHospitals #AccessibleHealthcare Summary: The emergence of global neighborhood hospitals has revolutionized healthcare services. These small-scale medical facilities offer cost-effective and personalized healthcare services, making them accessible to local communities. With their growing popularity, it is expected that neighborhood hospitals will shape the future of healthcare and contribute to a better healthcare system globally. #Healthcare #NeighborhoodHospitals #CommunityHospitals #MicroHospitals #AccessibleHealthcare #BUSINESS Read the full article

Microhospitals: Healthcare's newest patient access point.

“The days of us building 200,000-sf hospitals are over,” proclaims Isaac Palmer, CEO of Christus Health. Next fall, Christus will open the first microhospital in Louisiana, a 10,000-sf facility in Shreveport-Bossier with six short-stay inpatient beds. “It’s kind of a souped-up doctor’s office,” says Palmer.

“We’re moving toward microhospitals to enhance our integrated delivery network. It’s all about population health and one-stop shopping for consumers.” says Laura Hennum, Chief Strategy Officer at Dignity Health.

Microhospitals are acute care facilities that are smaller than the typical acute care hospital. In short, they're licensed hospitals that operate 24/7 in a fraction of the space of traditional acute care hospitals. They're equipped to respond to almost any medical issue, including those requiring critical care. While all micro-hospitals have a core set of services, the sites are also highly customizable, which allows organizations to adapt them to their target markets.

Emerus Holdings Inc. is the nation’s first and largest operator of micro-hospitals. Emerus has served 1 million patients till now and have hospitals in 19 states, these hospitals continue to grow and are becoming a trend in health care.

Many organizations have used micro-hospitals to enter a new market without the significant investment needed for a full-scale hospital. For example, SCL Health in Colorado deployed micro-hospitals as its primary means of moving into the high-growth areas of the Denver metro area. The micro-hospital approach allowed SCL Health to develop a care model that was convenient and accessible, while also expanding inpatient services to neighborhoods where demand would not justify a traditional hospital investment.

How Could Global Microhospitals Market Addresses The COVID-19 Concerns?

What started as an outbreak in China near the end of 2019 has now developed globally. Last week, for the first time since the COVID-19 epidemic started, the number of new cases outside of China was greater than inside the country. By 1 March, the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in China was 80,565 (3,015 deaths) and in the rest of the world 14,768 (267 deaths). China has done a great job in controlling COVID-19, and in doing so has bought the rest of the world time to prepare and contain the virus in geographically isolated areas, so far avoiding a pandemic. The World Health Organization's response has also been extraordinary but requires private sector support.

Increased Need for Hospitals During COVID-19 for Treating Patients

Coronavirus patients with access to hospital equipment, ICU beds, have a much greater chance of survival. With 377,431 confirmed cases of COVID-19 on 24 March, health systems around the world are groaning under the strain. Italy, which has suffered the deadliest outbreak of the disease with almost 64,000 cases, has 12.5 critical care beds per 100,000 people; compared with Germany, which has 29.2.

Once people are admitted to hospital, coronavirus patients require intensive and lengthy treatment, meaning beds are tied up for a several weeks. Doctors in the north of Italy say that 70% of their intensive care unit beds are now reserved for coronavirus patients with a reasonable chance to survive.

 Global Micro hospitals Market Landscape

Goldstein Research analyst forecast the micro hospitals market size is set to register the CAGR of 6.1% over the forecast years.

Based on geography, USA market for microhospitals is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.86% over the forecast period and dominated the microhospital market owing to the collaboration and partnership to increase the adaptation of microhospitals. Europe is the second-largest market.

Eric Carbonnier, VP-Sustainability for HMC Architects, raised the provocative question about whether sustainability is the right design and construction model for a world that wants to conserve and grow at the same time, especially given the fact that last year, the world extracted 2.5 times more resources than it did the same year a half century ago. He prefers a -regenerative" approach, where buildings and their surrounding communities work in tandem to generate resources rather than deplete them. To that end, HMC has established a Designing Futures Foundation to collborate with a variety of stakeholders to leverage human and financial capital for communities. -We need to get the surpluses back up," he said.

Aeron Hodges, Senior Designer/Manager for Stantec Architecture, advocated for a -micro" design strategy to meet the demands of more people who want to live in or near cities, but are increasingly being priced out of that option because of supply. She showed examples of downsized offices, microhospitals, and hotels. Hodges also noted how Millennials-who account for two-thirds of the population of Boston, her hometown-are willing to make space sacrifices to live closer to where they work. Stantec has developed a prototype called Hearth House, with zero parking, 250-sf micro apartments with prefab kitchens and baths, and social spaces, which Stantec contends can rent for $1,000 per month. Her firm is now looking at multiple sites in Boston to build this prototype.

Jeff Carpenter, IMEG Corp.'s National Director of Technology, made the argument that while the AEC industry has been talking about smart buildings for two decades, there are very few actual examples. Indeed, the term -smart building" is being upended by more specific terms like the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Big Data. While precision is always preferable, Carpenter nevertheless thinks the AEC industry is in danger of relinquishing its thought leadership role to Silicon Valley, -which wants to turn buildings into vessels for their products." He sees this as an existential moment for the AEC industry, which needs to articulate a -top-down vision" for the applications of these ideas in the built environment. One pathway, Carpenter recommended, is for firms to stop separating their teams into silos.

Tom Jacobs, Principal, Krueck + Sexton Architects, used his firm's expertise as a designer of fortified U.S. embassies around the world as the platform for urging his listeners to engage the communities they design and build in to better understand their clients' -hierarchy of needs." He pointed specifically to a project his firm has been working on in West Engelwood, Ill., one of Chicago's most dangerous neighborhoods, where the community is slowly taking back buildings and land that are being redeveloped to foment safety, security, and job creation. Jacobs said that the AD industry -needs to be more attuned to" its communities' needs.

Rick Khan, Senior Director of Innovation for Mortenson Construction, teamed with Rene Morkos, CEO of Alice Technologies, to discuss how Mortenson has been deploying Alice's system that applies artificial intelligence for optimizing project scheduling. On a healthcare project in Denver, Alice was able to create 66 million scheduling options, and provide Mortenson with the best 50 options, based in multiple design approaches. As a result, Mortenson shaved 84 days from the production schedule. -Alice provided us with a systematic way to find the best 'what if,' " said Khan. He added that Mortenson's ultimate goal is to use technology in ways that allow for more and better human collaboration.

Mark Skender, CEO of Skender, the construction company, shared the stage with his company's new Chief Design Officer Tim Swanson to talk about Skender's move toward lean principles that is combining design, manufacturing, and construction. Two months ago, Skender hired Swanson (from CannonDesign's Chicago office), acquired a design company, and launched a manufacturing company that will produce prefabricated components. Mark Skender called this mash up his company's -single source of truth" that will lead to -robust technology platforms" that it can use as a model for its supply-chain partners. Swanson pointed specifically to a multifamily project Skender is working on that is comprised of 208 modules; the only site work was bolting the modules together. Swanson can also envision the day when Skender develops control systems that track the performance of its buildings over time.

Steve Cavanaugh, Principal and Design Leader for DLR Group, espoused the virtues of mass timber as a construction material. He talked specifically about DLR's work on T3, a 220,000-sf loft mass timber office building in Minnesota that was developed by Hines. He said this building is located in a redevelopment district whose density parameters were well suited to using mass timber. DLR also designed the building to be contextual with the surrounding industrial brick-made buildings. Cavanaugh said that using mass wood has several benefits, including that the material is renewable and that its production has a lower carbon footprint than steel or concrete. -And the most exciting thing for me is that the building is financially viable." Next week, T3 Atlanta breaks ground, and a T3 mass timber office building in Chicago is in the planning stages.

Rohit Arora, Founder of Vin'R Technologies, guided the audience through the seven technologies-VR, AR, real-time rendering, AI, computer vision, drones, and robotics-that he believes are essential for the AEC industry to embrace. He showed how groups of these technologies intersect, and break down silos and barriers. (Two weeks ago, Arora started working as a software engineer for Katerra, the prefab manufacturer that amalgamates design, production, and construction.) Arora's vision foresees designers using VR headsets and robotics to design on-site, and collaborate with a projects' trades in the process. -The silos go away," he said.

Using predictive jobsite analysis to make construction sites smarter was the topic of a presentation that centered on a strategic alliance between the startup Reconstruct Inc. and Oracle. Reconstruct is the first construction and engineering firm to be invited to join Oracle's Scaleup program. Mani Golparvar, an associate professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, who is also Reconstruct's founder, explained how his company's solution presents an opportunity to tap into visual data, like drone photography, to create a 4D visual risk management SaaS platform, not only to show what is happening on a jobsite now, but also to predict what might happen in the future. Reconstruct is working with Clayco, the construction company, to use its system, which can be overlaid with BIM imagery. This system also creates progress and productivity reports for clients.

David Polzin, CannonDesign's Executive Director of Design, and Jimmy Rotella, the firm's Digital Practice Director, discussed the advantages of multi-user virtual reality. Until recently, what people saw in VR wasn't all that much different from conventional renderings, and there was no interaction with other users. Now, though, VR is getting closer to recreating real-life images, and it's possible for different users to look at the same thing simultanously (even if they're in different cities). The next step, says Rotella, is to create consistent design models that live beyond the VR experience. He also anticipates data capture in VR environments. Polzin notes that VR could become so prevalent that competitions will consist of clients -walking through" VR designs, and picking what they like best.

Two executives from Skimore, Owings & Merrill - Lucas Tryggestad, its Technical Director; and Kyle Vansice, its Architectural Professional - talked about how SOM is linking structural research with fabrication methods. The prime example is AMIE - which stands for Additive Manufacturing & Integrated Energy, a zero-waste, energy efficient 3D-printed structure that SOM built in collaboration with the DOE's Oakridge Laboratories. What SOM learned from this project, said Tryggestad, is that it can apply complex geometries to 3D printing; how to put the panels and forms together; and how to integrate 3D printed materials with conventional materials like steel and glass. Vansice said that SOM is interested in other ways of looking at structures geometrically, too, and has recently entered aligned with the University of Michigan to take conventional structural processes into 3D renderings.

Senior Designer Anthony Viola used his presentation to describe the design methodology of his firm, Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, on three projects: the 600-meter-tall Wuhan Greenland Center in China, which through different design iterations was able to save 15% of the structural steel used on the building; the Expo 2017 project in Kazakhstan, where energy efficiency was a major factor in the design; and the Mobility Pavilion for the Expo 2020 in Dubai. -Our process doesn't necessarily presuppose the outcome" of the building, Viola explained. And his main point is that design investigations within the firm often lead to larger conversations about the project.

Chris Flint Chatto, Principal with ZGF Architects, discussed the next frontier for Post-Occupancy Evaluations (POEs), something that ZGF is just getting into but eventually wants to conduct on all of its projects. He touched on some of the ways - both complex and simple - his company has approached this. The takeawaysso far, he said, are that AEC firms should start small but think big; that pre-occupancy surveying will inevitably inform POEs; and that the evaluations ultimately benefit the entire integrated project team.

Catherine Rose, Skanska USA's Director of Staff Development, has a background that includes stints with Proctor & Gamble, Lucent Technologies and Duke Energy. She has been helping Skanska corral the data it's been gathering and using by pushing the firm toward consistency and a collaborative framework. -We must connect the data, establish standards and support within the organization to connect the data, make greater use of AI, and see beyond the fog in order to see the future," she said.

Greg Schleusner, Principal and Director of Design Technology for HOK, used the emergence of blockchain - and, more humorously, the omnipresence of cats - to get into his discussion about how the industry might benefit from a less centralized way of sharing info and working together. He suggested that a co-op model that supports open source tools could be the best solution, and he's part of a five-firm group that is looking into putting something like that together for the industry.

David Morgareidge, Page's Predictive Analystics Director and Associate Principal, ended Accelerative Live! with a discussion about the digital transformation of the AEC industry, which has been triggered by greater data availability (through everything from sensors to IoT devices), computational capability, and the entry of new players that include giants like Google (through its Flux.io platform) and IBM (through the AI platform Watson), to startups like Aditazz. -The tools and talent are out there" for AEC firms to hop onto this digital revolution, he asserted. -All it takes is the vision to assemble them."

2018 predictions for healthcare facility design

E4H Environments for Health Architecture, an architecture firm focused exclusively on healthcare, recently released seven predictions for healthcare facility design trends in 2018.

“From Emergency Departments to micro-hospitals, to the amenities in and locations of hospitals, the year ahead will see continued changes in how healthcare providers are designing and equipping their facilities to meet both patient and market needs,” said Jason Carney, AIA, E4H Partner, in a release. “Add in the pressures of rapidly evolving regulations and payment models, and healthcare design has never been more dynamic than it is now.”

Following are seven top design trends in healthcare for 2018, as envisioned by E4H partners from across the country:

 BEHAVIORAL HEALTH DRIVES EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT RECONFIGURATIONS

Reflecting both the national opioid-abuse crisis and rising awareness of mental health conditions, hospitals are recognizing an intense need to accommodate cognitively impaired patients more effectively and more sensitively. Hospital leaders are seeking a careful balance in separating patients who pose a risk to themselves and others from the general Emergency Department (ED) population, while ensuring all patients are treated with compassion and dignity. At facilities such as Connecticut’s Waterbury Hospital and Newport Hospital in Rhode Island, areas within the ED are being designed for people and families who are experiencing or approaching a crisis requiring behavioral-health or addiction-management intervention. Because patients with cognitive impairment and behavioral issues often require longer stays in the ED than the general population, an emerging best design practice is adding features for them such as bathroom showers, places to securely store belongings, and access to decompression space.

 VIRTUAL REALITY BECOMES A CRITICAL PLANNING TOOL FOR HOSPITAL DESIGN

In 2018, more healthcare clients will benefit from virtual reality (VR) technology as they partner with architects to imagine and design complex spaces like operating rooms. VR technology is becoming smaller and more mobile, enabling architects to take VR equipment directly to end users in order to harvest their insight interactively and obtain immediate design feedback. The ability to use VR goggles and headsets to visualize space in three dimensions and coordinate both the room design and placement of equipment is improving facility efficiency and safety. VR headset technology breaks through the traditional limitations of a screen to put people “in” the design to experience, evaluate, and comment on everything from casework configurations to outlet quantities and furniture arrangements.

 MICROHOSPITALS

According to US News & World Report, microhospitals are now operational in 19 states across the U.S., providing services similar to larger hospitals (ED, pharmacy, lab, radiology, and surgery) in a smaller envelope. This model offers greater accessibility and convenience for residents and is a cost-effective market growth strategy for providers. These mini-hospitals are roughly 15,000 to 50,000 square feet, open 24/7, and maintain between five and 15 inpatient beds for observation and short stay use. Recent changes to Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services policy regarding reimbursement schedules for satellite facilities, authorizing microhospitals with dedicated emergency departments as eligible for both 340B discounted drug pricing and the Outpatient Prospective Payment System, will make microhospitals an increasingly popular option. E4H Architecture has designed 28 micro-hospitals in Arizona, Colorado, Texas, Louisiana, and Ohio.

 MAKE SPACE FOR TELEHEALTH

Both for patients at home and those in medical facilities, telehealth is an increasingly integral mode of healthcare delivery. Healthcare consulting firm Sg2 projects that in the next two years, the volume of virtual healthcare patients will rise 7 percent and in-home healthcare services will rise 13 percent. Installation of sophisticated patient monitors with robust communications platforms is enabling patients to consult seamlessly with physicians and care team professionals. Increasingly, telehealth is being utilized for specialty services like radiology, psychiatry, and dermatology as a way to obtain a specialist’s opinion without the inconvenience of an additional office or hospital visit. Healthcare facilities should start thinking now about how to best incorporate telehealth services into their master plan. Telehealth affects facility design in several ways, including how treatment rooms are configured to accommodate remote consultation and providing infrastructure for the technological equipment. Lighting, privacy, and aesthetics of rooms used for confidential telehealth consultations are all important concerns that need to be addressed by architects and designers. Telehealth technology is also transforming lobbies, common spaces, and admissions areas. Increasingly these areas are being designed to include accessible areas for kiosks or tablets from which patients can register, view their records, or videoconference with a provider.

 HOSPITALS TAKE A CUE FROM THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY 

The healthcare industry is embracing the trend of removing out-patient services from traditional, larger hospitals and moving them to more consumer-friendly environments. In some cases, this trend has been shown to create operational efficiencies and improve clinical outcomes, such as decreased re-admittance rates. E4H recently worked with a New York hospital to convert a 27-unit physician and nurse dormitory into temporary housing for immunocompromised patients. Procedures like bone-marrow transplants (BMTs) exemplify a unique need for extended care: In the first phase of treatment (surgery and post-op), those undergoing BMTs must be served as hospital inpatients. In the second phase, patients are vulnerable to infection and require monitoring for complications, but typically do not require a full suite of hospital inpatient services. For this second phase, the New York hospital administrators worked with architects to serve this “in-between” population, providing a facility that feels more like a hotel than hospital, with cozier interior design; private, suite-style rooms; and specialized air and water filtration systems to protect immune-suppressed patients. Rather than an inpatient charge nurse, a uniquely skilled concierge service provides front-desk response to at the front desk of the patients’ daily needs.

 MOVE TO MALLS

As the delivery of healthcare continues to improve, an increasing number of same-day services and procedures may be performed outside hospitals, in community locations chosen for ease of access and improved customer convenience. Established retail locations are and will become even more attractive to developers of microhospitals, outpatient imaging, urgent care and ambulatory surgery centers, and medical office buildings. This approach serves not only convenience-minded patients but also providers interested in growing market share.  Trends that Walmart and Panera consider for their locations–demographics, quality of highway or transit access, parking– all translate to healthcare as well. In Kingston, NY, E4H is helping Health Quest to transform a former Macy’s retail space into a new state-of-the-art outpatient medical services facility. It will enable consumers to access urgent care, ambulatory surgical care, primary care, diagnostic imaging, and oncology services in an easy-to-reach location.

                                              ACUTE CARE NEEDS CONTINUE TO GROW

In 2018, we will continue to see healthcare services moving from inpatient to outpatient facilities, but hospitals will also see growth in patient-day numbers. As Baby Boomers age, 10,000 Americans will turn 65 every day for the next 20 years, and the total demand for inpatient care will only grow. Additionally, as services are pushed to outpatient facilities, remaining inpatients will increasingly be the sickest and most acute, requiring longer stays. Maximizing the efficiency of space and movement of medical staff to serve this inpatient population, including with more private rooms and fewer shared rooms, is critical to healthcare facility design. In the last two years E4H has designed new private, room bed towers at the Heart Hospital at Baylor Plano, Eastern Maine Medical Center, and University of Vermont Medical Center.
