Strategic asset management and master planning within the healthcare sector: exploring the theoretical need for evidence based change management in strategic planning
conference contribution
posted on 2012-06-13, 11:01 authored by Sameedha Mahadkar, Grant R. Mills, Andrew PriceThe delivery of health and social care in the UK is undergoing profound change and
being redesigned to provide high quality, person-centred services and improved
capacity and performance. This is taking place in a context of: change in asset
ownership; moves towards increased local autonomy in the provision of services; and
the introduction of national, evidence-based standards and inspection. There has been
considerable activity surrounding the planning, design and operation of healthcare
services and facilities, however, Strategic Asset Management as a field of literature
has not sufficiently developed in line with this change in emphasis. The recent move
towards PFI, LIFT and World Class Commissioning within the NHS (National Health
Service), has meant that roles and responsibilities for estates are shifting alongside
commissioning competencies; however, the impact of this shift on the built healing
environment is not well understood. Strategic Asset Management on a regional scale
requires: reliable predictive data; effective tools and processes for developing and
modelling future scenarios; and people with the appropriate skills and expertise,
although these are not always available. As such, these factors need to be better
understood and the stakeholders responsible for them defined.
