President and CEO deliver opening keynote in Toronto
IHEEM’s President, Paul Fenton MBE, and Chief Executive, Pete Sellars, delivered the opening presentation at the recent 27th International Federation of Healthcare Engineering (IFHE) Congress in Toronto, which was hosted by the Canadian Healthcare Engineering Society (CHES). The presentation, entitled ‘A Common Language for Planning and Design of New Hospitals’, outlined the work the Institute has undertaken, jointly with EuHPN (the European Health Property Network) and University College London (UCL), on the development of a new healthcare planning model that brings together hospital masterplanning, design, and operational management, based around three key elements: n Acuity – Using Acuity to determine the clinical care services provided in healthcare facilities.
n System-Wide Economic Modelling, rather than using ‘traditional’ m2
capital
costs to determine the benefits of the investment.
n Using an Integrated Health Planning Planning Framework – through ‘a
common language’ to facilitate and unite dialogue between stakeholders and decision-makers.
The detailed presentation explained
the key drivers and methodology, and explored the rationale and proposed approach in terms of a common language and acuity of care. The two IHEEM speakers also explained how this approach could ultimately lead to a new economic model that is revenue/capital driven, using data that is available to define specific outputs. Pete Sellars said: “We have received
an extraordinary amount of positive feedback following the presentation; the topic clearly resonated well with
delegates from across the globe – including from Brazil, Canada, and South Africa, who wish to engage further with us on this topic, including requests to engage with and present to their members at future online events they are planning. “IHEEM continues to work in partnership with EuHPN, UCL, and The Bartlett School of Architecture, in progressing this important topic. The Institute also has a wide range of Knowledge Partners that it works extensively with, including Total Alliance Health Partners (TAHPI), who deliver training on the Health Facility Briefing System and provide access to the International Health Facility Guidelines (IHFG), and also The Royal Academy of Engineering, whose overarching goal for 2025 is ‘to harness the power of engineering to build a sustainable society and an inclusive economy that works for everyone’. We have inputted into several of the Academy’s consultation documents on a variety of subjects. Earlier this year the Institute established the new Strategic Estate Management Technical Platform, bringing together experts from across the industry sector to continue to drive this project forward.” An article providing more detail from
