Kaiser Permanente issued a worldwide call for ideas to create a generation of hospitals that will support a leaner, more environmentally effective, financially sound health care system. This session by Kaiser Permanente’s Executive Director for National Facilities Services and the leaders of one of the competition finalists will examine Kaiser’s goals for the project, the kinds of responses received, and the thinking embedded in the three final submissions. This session will enable attendees to:

Describe the Kaiser Permanente Integrated Health Delivery System.
Discuss the pressures Kaiser Permanente anticipates as a result of health reform, and learn about outlines of its facility strategy.
Define the competition to develop the next Prototype for Kaiser Permanente’s small hospitals of the future.
Cite some of the key insights to emerge from the thinking of the various teams, including the winning submission, which can help to inform your planning for the future.
