Tweetables and Quotes:
Matt Bishop
The risks differentiate building on an active hospital campus from all the other types of construction. Safety measures on all levels are greater — it's not just the construction risks — it's risks to the patients, staff, and operations.
HCAHPS scores for patient access and related elements can actually improve during renovation projects when people feel well-informed.
Sean Ashcroft:
When it comes to communication, it’s important to remind your team that the best plan is not (usually) the first plan, it is an iterative process that they have the ability to impact and improve.
As the builder on an active campus, it’s our responsibility to earn trust, to develop that trust so the patients, providers, and staff are comfortable in the environment.

Quotes for Melissa Kiefer
It's important to Hospital for Special Surgery that we continue to invest in our quality of care through our built environment. We can't maintain the investment that we make in research and education unless we continue to grow our physical presence.
Part of the challenge of keeping up with construction is that we're often designing and thinking through problems three years before anyone will step foot in the door.
The built environment ecosystem needs to think about how we preserve the dignity of people that take part in bringing patient care spaces to life.
Quotes for Supina Mapon
Until we can break down access barriers, achieve price information transparency, and offer viable and affordable treatment options, healthcare consumers won't be able to achieve the full purchasing power that we see in the retail space.
Going forward, we must look at care that encompasses the right care, right time, right place, right cost, and NOW the right experience.
It's imperative for health systems to take consumer and patient satisfaction seriously and to empower patients to change the narrative from being passive recipients to more active participants in their own care.
