Perspectives Of Healthcare In The Middle East: Investigating Current Facts, Innovations
And New Trends In Hospital Design
- Impacts of the economic crisis on designing new hospitals and starting renovation
programmes
- Healthcare facilities programmes across the Middle‐East: a large variety of projects to be
launched in the next decade
- Implementing green standards in healthcare facilities design and construction to cope with
sustainable development issues
- Integration of traditional design in new building and refurbishment projects to enhance
experience and increase patient flow
- Making the Middle‐East a World‐Class healthcare destination to face the competition of
health tourism markets abroad

Identifying Market Needs And Effective Communication To Smartly Lead Design Projects |
09.30 |
Market Research And Early Buy‐In To Understand The Needs Of Patients And Staff To
Accurately Design Healthcare Facilities
- Properly leading market research to meet expectations of both operation and patient sides
to design a smooth running hospital
- Identifying the key factors and involving the necessary departments to take into account
different perspectives and design a practical facility
- Defining the right place, the right moment and the right partners to build a sustainable
facility
- Auto‐critic and external points of view to avoid last minute changes and costs increase
- Developing a project management methodology providing formal guidelines to avoid delays
and increase chances of success

Technical Knowledge And Human Relation Skills To Manage A Multidisciplinary Team,
Understanding Stakeholder Needs And Saving Costs
- Importance of the conductor: Firmly coordinating contractors, operators, builders and
consultants to meet required standards and deadlines
- Organising technical trainings and updates for stakeholders to speak a common technical
language and avoid misunderstandings, conflicts and time loss
- Challenges and benefits of a good transmission of information and transparency amongst
stakeholders to deliver on a high standard healthcare facility
- Establishing a team spirit by integrating a project leader to motivate stakeholders and reach
success in designing healthcare facilities
- Clearly defining roles and responsibilities of every stakeholder based on area of expertise to
avoid overlapping behaviours and conflicts and capitalise on technical knowledge

Budgeting Design Projects, Securing Investment And Controlling Costs |
PANEL DISCUSSION |
11.20 |
Designing Smart Healthcare Programmes To Capitalise On Realistic Budgets And Precise
Business Plan To Secure Investment
- Creating a sustainable project to convince investors and overcome resource shortage
- Minimising waste during the planning phase by integrating the “lean management” concept
to build up a sustainable facility
- Introducing international and regional benchmarks as well as strong management skills in
hospital design to drive cost optimisation in both construction and running phases
- Innovative design for private hospitals as a long term strategy to attract investment in the
face of long capital payback period to deliver high quality facilities
- Initial funding and smart allocation of resources to face long term risks and reach initial goals
to deliver on quality projects
|
12.00 |
Re‐Designing Existing Healthcare Facilities To Better Use Current Resources And Improve
Both Patient And Staff Experience To Deliver More Efficient Clinical Outcomes
- Developing facilities taking into account the “more out‐patient” trend in the region to
increase patient flow
- Reorganising support services to liberate space for patient‐focused activities and face the
increasing demand for World‐Class care
- Following society evolution to adapt the hospital to new disease profiles and face
competition of newly built facilities
- Integrating the Evidence Based Design concept in refurbishment plans to enhance both staff
and patient experience and increase loyalty, patient flow and ROI
- Highlighting under‐utilised departments and developing a “schedule for space” to design a
smart re‐allocation and maximise utilisation of existing resources

Lunch and networking |
14.00 |
Operational Cost Reduction And High Level Standards: The Challenges Of Future Hospitals
- Applying the “lean management” concept alongside the supply chain to reduce operations
waste to optimise cost and keep a high level of medical best practice
- Educating management and top down budgeting strategies to give responsibilities and
involve staff in smart budget cuts to increase profitability
- Integrated design: downsizing MEP equipment and building systems to lower construction
costs and reduce risks of costly re‐design
- Assessing and documenting the condition and capacities of the existing systems to ensure a
soft integration of the facility extension and save on costs

Afternoon refreshments |
Innovation, Technology And Design Flexibility For A Sustainable And Viable Project |
15.50 |
Including Innovative Technologies In Hospital Design To Save Space, Increase Flexibility
And Facilitate Operations To Improve Patient Care And Productivity
- Properly designing hospitals to receive new technologies by including specialists in the early
stage of the process to make the facility functional and understandable for the clinicians
- Implementing Building Information Modeling (BMI) software to generate and manage
building data to improve commissioning and maintenance during hospital lifecycle
- Integrating equipment needs and modular concepts of space into hospital design to
anticipate transitions of care and accommodate frequent operational reorganisations
- Implementing healthcare guidelines and norms in the design phase of renovation and
construction projects to deliver standardised services and capitalise on high quality of care
|
16.30 |
Adapting The On‐Stage/Off‐Stage Concept To Healthcare Facilities To Re‐Organise
Operations And Space To Enhance Patient Experience And Improve Working Conditions
And Functionality
- Appropriately designing the circulation plan within the facility and limiting long distance
transfers to smoothly run operations and reduce risk
- Achieving a welcoming environment for patients and functional areas for staff: Splitting the
facilities to improve focusing and efficiency to deliver a higher quality of care
- Welcoming patients and families in an intuitively designed and easily accessible “on‐stage
area” to enhance the hospital experience and increase patient flow
- Organising an autonomous and operation oriented “off‐stage” away from patients’ view to
reduce infection risks and keep staff concentrated for more efficiency and better service
