Explore Ontario’s Ministry of Health intentions for a standardized program in health capital and what this means for scope, cost, and delivery. Hear directly from leaders involved in the UK’s New Hospital Program on how standardized design is being applied across multiple hospitals – what’s working, what’s evolving and what to avoid. A facilitated roundtable discussion involved candid discussion with owners and operators to identify practical next steps in the Canadian context.
Key Learning Objectives:
- Understand the MOH’s goals, guardrails, and anticipated roll-out for standardization.
- learning about the UK’s New Hospital Programme standard components/ kits, governance, and delivery models.
- Identify where standardization improves value ( time, cost, quality, carbon) and where local community input must remain.
- Define actionable steps for owners and project teams to pilot, adapt and measure standardized solutions.Draft Agenda (Confirming Speakers)
