Are We Supersizing Healthcare?
Does your project need to go on a diet? Keynote speaker H. Scot Latimer, Vice President, Kurt Salmon Associates discusses why, when healthcare capital spending continues to rise, we only seem able to buy less each year. While construction spending inflation is partly to blame; the other factor lies in a tendency to plan ever larger space for the same functions. This session enables attendees to:
+State the forces behind the recent increases in space per key indicator in healthcare projects.
+Develop measures to determine “adequate” space for individual project needs.
+Determine methods to prudently control project size and maximize your project ROI.
