Operational and Facility Planning:
Defining the Team
Size of the Team
• 5-11 persons reflecting the size of the project
• Identification of non-team resource staff
Characteristics of the Team
• Accessible and Available
• Comprehensive
• Invested and Committed
Every staff person should feel that someone sits on the
team that understands their role and their needs.

Your Internal Project Team
• Did you Select the Right People?
-
Is every program represented?
Is every staff person represented?
Is there a balance of formal and informal leaders?
Is there a balance of community insiders/outsiders?
Is there a health center historian on the team?
Are the members available, accessible and willing?
Is the size of the team manageable?
Is there a team leader?

Defining the Team
Lessons learned -
Consider the time commitment
Consider both credibility and ability
Consider interpersonal skills
Consider skill sets outside of the staff person’s current
scope and responsibilities
- Identify a process historian (clerk)
- Consider including a dedicated lead
This team is not the management team!

Gathering Data
Reflecting their Preferences
Send the Team Out
 2015 Capital Link
Given the opportunity, what kind of spaces do your
patients design for themselves? Visit community centers,
churches, restaurants, day care centers and fraternal
organizations. Is there a common color palette or
decorative theme? Are the spaces generally formal or
informal? How are they approached – are there defined
entry and interior transition zones or is the line between
interior and exterior blurred with glass walls and exterior
decking? What concepts are transferable as you design a
healing space for the community?
www.caplink.org
11
Gathering Data
Asking for their Help
Engage Staff in
Data Collection:
Incorporate an
Exit Question
into the Visit
Process
 2015 Capital Link
“Thank you for coming today. Is there anything we could do to
make your next visit (smoother … more helpful … more
pleasant)?”
Evaluate patient complaints and comments to target the question
directly at what patients have been telling you in the past. Arrange
responses in categories identifying common themes. Define action
steps in the planning of the new facility which would address those
common themes and thus improve the patient experience.
www.caplink.org
12
Gathering Data
Caring for their Friends and Family
Engage Staff in Data
Collection:
Query Existing Patients
“What could we do to make the people who come with
you to your appointments more comfortable?”
Addressing the needs of children, spouses, caretakers, and
community support persons will not only decrease the
stress of the patient and support continuity of care but
send a powerful message of mission and vision to the
community-at-large.

The Impact of Physical Spaces
What do we do because it is the best for our
staff and patients?
vs.
What do we do because it works best in our
building?
or
It is simply how we have always done it.

Broadening the Vision
It’s Not Just about How Many Patients…
What services do we want to provide?
How do we want to deliver those services?
Who do we need to deliver those services?
 2015 Capital Link
www.caplink.org
19
Define the “What”
Start right where you are:
For each of your Current Services …
• Is capacity meeting demand?
• Are desired outcomes consistently attained?
• Is the service sustainable?
• What are the results of trending data?
• What changes are staff/patients anticipating?
 2015 Capital Link
www.caplink.org
20
Define the “What”
Then, explore Potential Services:
• Evaluate Referral Patterns
- What are the five most common referrals? Could those services be
offered on-site? By contract or staff?
- What type of referrals do patients not follow-up on? Is access a
problem? Language? Culture? Environment? Transportation?
 2015 Capital Link
www.caplink.org
21
Define the “What”
Then, explore Potential Services:
• Evaluate Gaps in the Plan of Care
- What do we ask of our patients that is
nearly impossible for them to accomplish?
- What do our patients ask for that we
neither facilitate nor provide?
 2015 Capital Link
www.caplink.org
22
Define the “What”
Then, explore Potential Services:
• Evaluate Changes / Developments in the Community’s Healthcare
Environment
- What providers are retiring, relocating?
- What services are new or being actively planned for?
- Are there opportunities to collaborate, fill service gaps or eliminate
services which are not sustainable?
 2015 Capital Link

23
Define the “How”
The Model of Care Delivery
•
Patient-Centered Care –
Giving control back to the patient
•
Technology-Based Care –
Effective use of Information Technology
•
Team-Based Care –
Pooling skills to more effectively serve
•
Community-Based Care –
Back to our roots, the out-of-office experience
