Standardization in Health Capital: Ontario’s Direction and UK Lessons from the New Hospital Program

The Ontario Ministry of Health is developing a standardized design process. Other provinces are progressing in this area. It’s still in the early stages in Canada from a formalized approach yet many hospitals and health regions have adopted strategies that are locally tailored.

In the UK, the New Hospital Program (NHP) has a well-developed standardization program for health capital. They will share the key highlights of their approach and experiences. Learn directly from leaders involved in the UK’s New Hospital Program on how standardized design is being applied across multiple hospital systems – what’s working, what’s evolving and what can be improved. In addition, CCHF is organizing a facilitated roundtable discussion with owners and operators to identify practical next steps in the Canadian context. Join the conversation!

Key Learning Objectives:

Learn 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
