Hospital Planning | UNITY Consulting & Innovation

Custom-made room comcepts for optimal patient care at your hospital

Hospital Planning

Future-oriented design of the healthcare system

Today, hospital planning must ensure healthcare that is high-quality, needs-based and efficient in a rapidly changing environment. In addition, the requirements of the various funding projects of the Hospital Care Improvement Act (KHVVG) must be complied with in order to make maximum use of the necessary funding. More about KHVVG

Modern planning goes beyond traditional approaches and includes a holistic view of the healthcare landscape, innovative technologies and optimized workflows.
Our consulting services support you in making your hospital fit for the future. We integrate digital solutions and innovative care concepts into our planning to create a “smart hospital”. From target planning and functional areas to logistics planning and simulations - our holistic approach ensures optimal coordination of all components. Let's work together to set the course for an efficient hospital of the future.

Our consulting services in hospital planning

Goal Planning

Securing your future viability and responsiveness by scenario-based target development

Your requirements:

Conflict between the goals to optimize cost and to provide high-quality patient care
Limited opportunities to identify areas for digitalization and innovation
Lack of skills to achieve strategic goals

UNITY solution approach:

Scenario planning: data-based development of future scenarios for different medical and technological development situations
Digitalization: identification of relevant fields of action for digital processes to increase efficiency and quality of treatments
Competency transparency: transparency regarding the status quo of relevant competencies and derivation of required competencies to achieve strategic goals

Planning of functional areas

Efficient design for operation

Your requirements/questions:

Poor planning of rooms and functional areas leads to suboptimal use of space and resources.
A lack of clear assignment of the various functional areas leads to inefficient work processes and increased costs for communication.
Functional planning has to be flexible enough to adapt to changing medical and technological requirements.

UNITY solution approach:

Optimized allocation of functions: we develop clear and efficient functional structures based on data, which optimize workflows and improve communication
Capacity-oriented planning: by precisely planning rooms and functional areas, we ensure that space and resources are used in line with requirements and minimize waste
Adaptable structures: we integrate flexible room concepts that increase responsiveness to medical and technological developments in order to guarantee a high quality of treatment.

Operational & organizational concept

Based on data, we validate and optimize your room and OR requirements

Your challenges/questions:

Insufficient transparency regarding capacity requirements and the necessary use of resources
Increased patient numbers and waiting times
Varying medical, legal and social requirements require rapid adjustments

UNITY solution approach:

Process optimization & standardization: We develop standardized and custom-made workflows that increase efficiency and quality, while taking the requirements of the countries and DIN 13080 into account.
Use of modern managing methods: We integrate agile working methods and lean management techniques to increase flexibility, use resources in the best possible way and reduce waiting times.
Future-proof organization: We develop a flexible operational and organizational concept that is designed according to the needs of your hospital and adapts dynamically to changes.

Simulaltion to ensure planning

Data-based validation of requirements to ensure continuous patient care

Your requirements/questions:

Complex planning scenarios require a lot of manual work and can lead to long lead times and inaccurate forecasts.
A lack of validation and transparency of the planned structures and processes leads to uncertainties in the actual implementation.
Short-term changes in patient numbers, the use of resources and external factors can often no longer be the subject of planning.

UNITY solution approach:

Scenario planning: We use data to optimize your processes for scenarios with different case numbers.
Quantitative validation: We work with you to validate your planned area dimensioning with a simulation based on comprehensive data.
Ensuring demand: We work with you to calculate the provision of capacity in line with demand and the necessary use of resources, validate the continuous patient flow and create transparency.

Logistic planning

Efficient logistics and smart supply solutions for hospitals

Your requirements/questions:

The high complexity of internal logistic processes leads to manual effort, errors and inefficient work flows.
A lack of traceability and insufficient transparency in logistics make controlling processes and planning resources more difficult.
Time and cost-related challenges regarding the optimal use of resources and storage space while complying with safety and hygiene standards.

UNITY solution approach:

Holistic logistics planning: We work with you to develop a comprehensive logistic concept that covers all areas of the hospital, taking safety and hygiene standards into account.
Effective automation: We implement modern automation solutions, such as automatic order and replenishment systems, to make material flows more efficient.
Smoothed use of resources: By intelligent space and resource planning, we help to make optimum use of the available space in the hospital and avoid bottlenecks.

Planning of functional areas

Central OR/Ambulatory OR

We validate and optimize your OR requirements based on data.

With our OR simulation, we develop data-based scenarios that enable optimal utilization of your OR resources. We analyze the patient flow, determine the required capacity and help you to reduce waiting times. In this way, we ensure that your OR slots are used efficiently and that planning remains transparent and based on needs in the long term.
Planning of pharmacies

Optimization for efficiency and quality

We support you in the efficient use of warehouse and laboratory space and digital planning of product ranges. This helps to optimize stocks and simplify processes. With a lean check, we improve pharmacy processes and ensure compliance with legal requirements. Together, we determine the necessary personnel capacities and ensure that your pharmacy processes operate at the highest level in terms of both ergonomics and quality.
Central emergency room

Fast response and optimal patient care

Proper planning of the central emergency department is crucial for effective emergency care. By analyzing processes and capacity requirements, we develop data-based solutions to optimize patient flow and the efficient use of your resources. Together, we improve processes, minimize waiting times and ensure that your emergency department is both functional and flexible to meet increasing demands.
Diagnostic center

Precise planning for a holistic diagnosis

Planning a modern diagnostic center requires an optimal combination of room concept, technical equipment and flexible processes. Customized solutions are used to efficiently design the diagnostic processes in order to ensure fast and precise diagnostic findings. The center is planned in such a way that it meets both current and future requirements and ensures a high quality of treatment.
Bed houses

Optimal room concepts for efficient patient care

With well thought-out ward planning, we create efficient structures that enable smooth patient care and optimum capacity utilization. Through innovative room concepts and the targeted integration of resources, we ensure that both the current and future requirements of your facility are met.
