Right-sizing back-of-house logistics for a major hospital redevelopment

Outcome
Right-sized BOH footprints for redevelopment

The context

Regional health service — hospital redevelopment. The masterplan phase needed back-of-house and logistics spatial requirements across medical consumables, food services, linen & laundry and waste — engaged through the project architects.

What we did

  • Three-phase approach: current-state operations, growth scenarios, future-state spatial recommendations
  • Mapped all existing process flows to surface constraints and risks for the new development
  • Translated future demand and additional clinical services into BOH volume and traffic impact
  • Recommended footprints and layouts, justified against AusHFG benchmarks where above standard
  • Recommended operating model efficiencies to maximise the new infrastructure

The results

  • Conceptual integrated BOH areas and total footprints adopted into the masterplan
  • Bottom-up, evidence-based basis for BOH service delivery
  • Infrastructure investment matched to a pragmatic operating model
