Healthcare Facilities Network Transition to Hospital Operations: Avoiding Costly Mistakes
A failed transition to operations can cost hospitals millions in lost revenue, delays, and rework. In this episode of Healthcare Facilities Network, Stephen W. Van Ness joins hosts Peter Martin and Patrick Murphy to discuss why transition planning must begin as early as the design phase and how it can make or break the success of new hospital spaces.
Stephen unpacks the high stakes of hospital transitions — from commissioning and supply chain challenges to the role of AI, data, and increasingly complex equipment. He also shares how workforce trends, such as an aging employee base and evolving skillsets, impact a hospital’s ability to manage these critical transitions effectively.
Whether you’re involved in hospital design, facilities management, or operations planning, this episode offers actionable strategies to avoid costly mistakes and ensure new spaces are fully optimized for patients, staff, and the bottom line.
