The overall success of a healthcare project is related to the quality of prior planning. Healthcare facility design requires a detailed understanding of the need for a project, as well as the context within which it will be built. This underscores the critical importance of a Functional Program.  

We know that design is problem solving and the best problem solvers know what questions to ask. With this in mind, The Center for Health Design has developed a functional program Process Guide to facilitate a program that accurately reflects the project owner’s main goals and objectives to facilitate decision making throughout the entire design and construction process. This webinar will highlight how to use our tool and how it can enable design teams to enhance communication, encourage innovation, and highlight both quality and quantity. 
 

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the importance of a functional program and why it is critical to a successful design project. 
  • Appreciate how quality and quantity can coexist within a healthcare design project.
  • Evaluate how a functional program can facilitate design team communication and innovation.
  • Define and deliver a functional program to meet regulatory requirements for design & construction.
