This Nursing Institute of Healthcare Design workshop at Healthcare Design Conference + Expo empowers diverse members of the healthcare design and activation teams to explore key aspects of operational planning for a hospital, ambulatory service, or a new department. Operational planning involves more than just designing the physical space of the facility. It encompasses the intricate coordination of facility design, technology, resource planning, and financial planning. This workshop will focus on five aspects of operational planning from the ground up including:

1. Foundation [mission, values, goals, Community Health Needs Assessment, R.A.I.S.E.]

2. Framing [Resource allocation, confines of money and time for budgeting]

3. Form [Tech integration, information exchange, workflow]

4. Function [Metrics, Benchmarks, POEs, KPIs]

5. Future [Sustain, Maintain, Adapt/Flex]
