Impact of Advanced Technologies on Healthcare Facilities
10 am-Noon
Richard Satava, M.D., F.A.C.S., University of Washington, Seattle
Large capital expenditures by the healthcare industry, such as buildings and equipment, are becoming more speculative than ever due to rapid changes. One of the largest drivers of change is technology. This presentation will focus on how technologies will affect the practice of medicine. In the immediate future (5-10 years) there will be a continued increase in automation, robotics and imaging with the likely implementation of virtual autopsy or the completely automated (robotic) operating room. Over the longer term (10-50 years) there will be further integration breakthroughs in biotechnology, such as genetic and tissue engineering and organ replacement, intra-cellular surgery and suspended animation. Architects and hospital planners will be able to more clearly speculate on what dramatic changes they may face in the healthcare facilities of the future.
Lunch Noon-1 pm
Guidelines for the Design and Construction of Health Care Facilitiess
1-3 pm
Joseph G. Sprague, FAIA, FACHA, FHFI, Director of Health Facilities, HKS, Dallas
Chad E. Beebe, AIA, Manager Construction Review Services at the WA State Dept. of Health
The Guidelines for the Design and Construction of Health Care Facilities is the document widely used by engineers, architects and healthcare construction professionals as a reference guide. At present, more than 40 states and the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations reference The Guidelines for licensure/accreditation of health care facilities. The state of Washington is currently in the process of adopting The Guidelines as the new construction standard for hospital licensing. This session will address some of the most current revisions to program, space and equipment needs for all clinical and support areas of hospitals, nursing, freestanding psychiatric, outpatient, rehabilitation and long-term care facilities.
Medical Technology’s Impact on Facility Space Planning, Design and Construction
3-5 pm
C. Wayne Hibbs, C.C.E., President of LifeStructures Technology Planning, Indianapolis
This presentation will discuss the topics that vendors often fail to mention regarding multi-slice CT scanners, video OR systems, integrated patient monitoring networks, patient environmental controls and other high tech health care tools. It will address design issues from the viewpoint of the vendor, administrator, clinical user, designer, service and support providers. You will gain a better understanding of detailed space considerations required to design functional rooms based on required equipment and procedures.
Day 2 Registration
8-8:30 am
GC/CM Contracting: Where are we?

Eric Smith, Director, Capital Projects South, Capital Projects Office, University of Washington
Carl Tully, NBBJ
Richard Goldsmith, Association of Washington Public Hospital Districts
Eric Smith will discuss the University of Washington's approach to implementing the GC/CM selection process and how it was influenced by RCW 39.10.068. Carl Tully offers the Anacortes Island Hospital project as a GC/CM case study, and Richard Goldsmith will discuss anticipated changes to the RCW made by the state legislature.
LEED vs. GGHC
10 am-Noon
Presentation
Alisdair McGregor, PE, PhD, Principal Mechanical Engineer at ARUP
This presentation will provide an overview of two standards, Leadership in the Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and Green Guide for Health Care (GGHC) - with highlights of user experiences through two case studies: - OHSU Patient Care Facility, a GGHC project, in Portland, OR (Perkins + Will) - Providence Newberg, a LEED-Gold project, in Newberg, OR (Mahlum Architects). The case studies will be presented by the owner, architect and engineer for each project. Panel DiscussionGeoffrey W. Glass, Director of Facilities & Technology Services Providence St. Peter HospitalScott Anderson, Director of Facilities Providence, EverettJoel Loveland, BetterBricks Integrated Design Lab This workshop will culminate in a panel discussion that will include owner representatives, healthcare architects and engineers. This panel will discuss LEED and GGHC from a variety of perspectives. The panel will also discuss the LEAN principles that have revolutionized the manufacturing industry and how these principles are changing the needs and expectations of healthcare owners for architectural services.
