Virtually all healthcare systems operate in a continual process of future planning, facility expansion and asset management. In most cases, these three essential processes are not performed in an integrated fashion. As systems expand to include campuses covering large service areas, health systems are realizing that planning can no longer be performed for in "silos"never statistically evaluating the potential opportunities and limitations for system development throughout the entire service area and what impact such planning strategies would have on "sister" campuses.

Learning Objectives:
Understand the components of this new planning approach and the philosophical differences and advantages over traditional linear planning techniques.

Be introduced to the components and approach to system-wide modeling and review specific examples of each of the steps involving asset management and integrated planning techniques.

Outline the opportunities, limitations and lessons learned from a current planning engagement involving a multi-campus delivery system.
