Episode notes
Expansion Driven By Faster-Than-Expected Growth
- Rapid population growth in South Hillsborough forced AdventHealth Riverview to expand much sooner than forecasts predicted.
- The hospital will add 68 beds to move from 82 to 150 beds and meet accelerating community demand.
Plan Shell Space To Speed Future Build-Outs
- Design buildings with shelled space to accelerate future expansions without major external construction.
- Finish-out shelled units to bring capacity online faster and avoid disrupting the campus.
Assimilate New Hires Intentionally
- Intentionally assimilate new hires rather than redistributing staff from sister facilities.
- Orient and inspire new team members around your organization's mission to boost engagement.
