Description

Design, construction, and supply chain teams often work on the same projects without working together. When supply chain has a strong price that construction never hears about, or equipment decisions come too late in design, organizations lose time and money. Early, consistent collaboration can uncover savings and keep projects on track.


In this session, hear real-world stories of health systems that brought these teams together from the start of a capital project. Discover proven steps to share information, align contracting and design decisions, and make the most of every capital dollar.


Learning Objectives:
1. Identify common gaps between design, construction, and supply chain teams.
2. Analyze examples of savings gained through early cross-department collaboration.
3. Organize a project team structure that keeps information flowing between departments.
4. Outline actionable steps to align contracting with design and construction decisions
