A to Z of Health Planning

Delivering The Health Care Of The Future

Healthcare requires serious specialists with no tolerance for failure.

Healthcare buildings need to be appropriately briefed, correctly

designed, future-proofed and made affordable for owners, operators
and patients. Hospitals must be configured for the required
specialisations, equipped correctly and operated safely. They must
respond to their context including physical environment, population
mix, models of care and local custom.

Healthcare is too important to be regarded as Real Estate

Development. Professionals in this field must be immersed in
Healthcare issues, follow every progress, live and breathe it every
day. Learning on the job or simply asking the client “what would
you like” is not a substitute for expert knowledge and leadership.
This is a field in which no single member of the client organisation
is likely to know what is required for a fully functioning hospital.
Therefore this is a field where the client looks to the team of
experts to determine what is really required, give correct advice
as well as excellent solutions. TAHPI is such a team.
“Understanding the complexities

 Capability
VISION & BRIEF
Understanding the specialised needs of healthcare
enables us to create our client’s vision and develop
the brief for each individual project. Our web based
“Health Facility Briefing System” (HFBS), is applied
to take each project from the earliest Briefing and
Concept Design through Master Planning, Detailed
Design and Documentation, Equipment Schedules and
Construction Commissioning in a fraction of the time it
would take using traditional methods.

“Our integrated approach uses state of the art

methodologies for the design and rapid delivery of
healthcare projects.”

WITHIN BUDGET
We are conscious of the commercial aspects for the
healthcare projects. Cost effective solutions balance
both the capital outlay together with the long-term life
cycle costing. We work closely with experienced
quantity surveyors specialised in hospital projects
to control the cost through each project.

ADDED VALUE
TAHPI adds value to projects through years of
experience and understanding in healthcare. Our
solutions provide efficient planning, minimal structure,
optimised MEP systems and planning for the future
which guarantees that buildings are economical to
build, operate, and maintain whilst allowing for future
growth and expansion. Our peer reviews often lead
to significant construction saving that dwarf our fees.

REGIONAL STRENGTH
TAHPI has a strong regional presence with offices in
Sydney, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Kuala Lumpur, New Delhi
and London, with many more satellite offics shared
with local partners.

Methodology
TAHPI METHODOLOGY
TAHPI has developed its delivery methods over
many years such that we can deliver more
efficiently with the minimum of stress. Our
methodology utilises several important stages
involved in delivery of healthcare projects
including the following:
CLIENT NEEDS
Healthcare projects require a clear
understanding of the needs in order to establish
a Brief. TAHPI has years of experience in
dealing with complex, multilayered client
organisations and the preparation of robust
Needs Analysis Studies to support the
preparation of the Brief.
6www.tahpi.net
Health Service Planning
Service Planning starts with the Needs Analysis for
health services within a defined population catchment.
Statistical analysis is combined with planning skills
to identify several directions to proceed. TAHPI’s
methodology will guide the client through the
development of the service plan.
Briefing
Briefing (or Functional Program) is a highly specialised
field. Preparation of a brief in healthcare projects is
unlike any commercial or residential project requiring
consultation with a variety of interested parties.
TAHPI’s experienced team is skilled in translating the
client’s service plan into a set of coherent and medically
workable briefs.
Master Planning
The creation of the Master Plan will reflect the long
term strategy for the development of the project by
projecting the future service demand (typically 10 to
15 years).
“We believe in creating solutions which become the
definition of a healing environment”
Design
TAHPI believes in creating the optimum environment
for the delivery of high quality, efficient healthcare
services tailored to suit each individual project. The
solution is robust in terms of the planning infrastructure
and yet flexible enough to deal with the future change.
Construction & Commissioning
TAHPI takes the project from design to the end of
construction and beyond, including equipment and
furniture scheduling and procurement, staff orientation
and Operational Policy Development.

St George Hospital Emergency Department

St George Hospital is a major teaching hospital of the University

of New South Wales and is a tertiary referral hospital in the
state. This 3500sqm development was challenging, requiring
the demolition and re-provision of the hospital’s engineering
and pharmacy services in order to make room for the new
emergency department. The design allows for the future
expansion of 7 levels of existing acute inpatient services
over the new operational ED.

The St George Emergency Department provides a 12 bed

paediatric precinct, a 14 bed adult fast track treatment area
with 4 associated consult rooms, 8 bay ambulance parking, 5
bay triage, 5 resuscitation bays and 32 acute treatment beds.
There is also a 12 bed short stay unit, 2 bed mental health
assessment area with consult rooms and a 6 bed psychiatric
emergency care centre.

services include 7 LDR Birthing rooms and a dedicated
maternity ward supported by general and special care
nurseries.

Key concerns present in the project were recurrent cost

savings and environmentally sustainable design. Methods
adopted to address these issues were water recycling,
solar hot water, hybrid chillers and solar performance.

Modular Hospitals

TAHPI is bringing a new brand of thinking, backed by cutting edge

technology, to the healthcare sector. It will change the way healthcare
infrastructure is designed & delivered for the industry in the future.

Combining unique pre-fabricated modular construction with

technologically superior healthcare design expertise, TAHPI is set to
significantly reduce the cost & time required to deliver a healthcare
project.

Soft Modular
The “Soft Modular” approach is about compartmentalisation
of the knowledge of healthcare design into units of planning
from departments and services to rooms, content, finishes and
specifications. We feature 50 Functional Units of planning and 500
unique room types; fully specified, pre-designed and engineered
with multiple combinations to create hospitals of any scale. These
raw components form quick and out-of-the-box design modules that
comply with the relevant standards and guidelines.

58
Hard Modular
The modular designs are pre-fabricated in components and delivered
through the industrial production and efficiency of scale. The concept
replaces “construction” with “transportation” and “assembly”. The
pre-fabricated units would be fully functional at the time of delivery
including all medical and non-medical equipment, furniture, software
and automation systems. Simply put, these hospitals are delivered like
large passenger aircraft differentiated by capacity and model. They
come with a warranty like any industrial product.

Modular Hospitals
TAHPI has a large catalogue of pre-designed hospitals from just 16 beds
to 500 beds, ready to adopt and order.

TAHPI also offers a Modularisation services where the client’s own

design is optimised and then fully delivered and installed as a true
turnkey product.
