Description
The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) has undertaken a collaborative project to develop a case study of the commissioning process and related outcomes for its new surgical suites and post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) project. The project team and commissioning agent has followed the ASHE health facility commissioning process, while faculty researchers and students from Purdue University and the University of Arkansas Little Rock have studied the outcomes from application of the process. At this session, lessons learned from implementing the ASHE commissioning doctrine on this renovation project and from this industry-research collaborative will be explained. This session will enable you to:
● Describe the benefits of commissioning a health facility project, using the lessons learned from the project presented.
● Apply best practices, as presented in the case study, to building a collaborative project team.
● Discuss opportunities for collaboration with students during PDC and O&M processes as well as techniques for achieving successful group work in health care projects.
● Recognize ways to use academic and industry research findings to improve health facility design and construction projects.
