9 Years Running – Trusted Industry Insights and Collaborative Conversations with Senior Leaders in Healthcare Infrastructure Planning, Design and Construction

In Ontario’s resource-strapped economy, controlling healthcare infrastructure project costs has become a top priority.

For projects already in flight there are difficult decisions to be made on needs versus wants for the new facility. Those being proposed face the same challenge, with greater uncertainty around their approval.

The current landscape will require creative solutions to ensure existing infrastructure will endure.

Furthermore, to progress through this period industry and key stakeholders will need to examine what needs to change or evolve. This includes the use of more collaborative procurement methodologies, that are better synced with the infrastructure planning process, the use of technology, and potentially new models of care

To help you make sense of these developments, Canadian Institute (CI) invites you to take part in two days of solution-oriented conversations focused on innovation and collaboration in a costconscious environment—at our 9th Annual Forum on Healthcare Infrastructure, Eastern Canada.

Join us on November 6–7, 2024, at Hart House in Toronto, to hear bold ideas, and tested best practices for improving healthcare facilities.

Attend this year to:

ç DEVISE strategies to manage project costs and schedules amid market uncertainty

ç DEMYSTIFY AI with insights on practical applications for construction and asset management

ç BUILD a low carbon strategy for your facility

ç PIVOT with lessons learned from healthcare projects across Eastern Canada

ç NETWORK with the leaders in capital planning, construction, and facilities management

4:15 Sinai Health Case Study: Building a Lean, Green MDRD that Meets and Exceeds CSA Standards

During the pandemic Mount Sinai Hospital embarked on the largest redevelopment projects in the hospital’s history. Part of the redevelopment involved transforming the Medical Device Reprocessing Department to ensure adequate support for expanded surgical spaces and services. The journey was not without its challenges, but today this state-of-the-art department is an example of innovation in patient safety and operational efficiency.

This case study will provide a closer look at the MDRD journey to date:

• Providing an overview of what was involved in the planning, design and construction of the new MDRD

» Detailing how the design dictated different workflows

• Identifying key construction challenges since opening the department and how teams are addressing them

• Introducing contingency measures to ensure that sterilization can always happen onsite

• Utilizing state-of-the-art tracking system for medical devices to meet CSA Standards

• Anticipating future standards through the design of the MDRD

Advancements in Modular: Assessing Current and Future Opportunities for Healthcare Facilities

There is growing interest in the use of modular for healthcare facilities in Canada, largely due to the efficiency of offsite construction. Although modular has commonly been used to provide temporary spaces--such as offices, and clinics-- the pandemic revealed new applications. Hospitals in Ontario and throughout the Canada turned to modular to expand their footprint. This has sparked curiosity about its potential use for more complex, permanent healthcare structures. In this session panelists will provide examples of how modular is being used in healthcare and how to determine if it is the right fit for your project.

• Exploring how modular is being used in Canada to achieve efficiencies and deliver healthcare facilities in rural areas

• Determining what projects are a fit for modular or hybrid construction

• Weighing the benefits and the risks of a modular build – efficiency vs. flexibility
