The president and vice-president of HKIFM attended the symposium of sustainable mobility for the future. Miss Vivian Lau, JP, Deputy Secretary for the Environment delivered the keynote speech to the symposium.

The following abstracts of media interview conducted by the

conference organizer with Dr. Eric Chan, one of the conference

speakers, articulating the latest development on healthcare facility

design and management issues

Focuses on the creation of a patient-centered framework Dr Eric Chan, Senior Hospital Manager – Facility Management, for Kwong Wah Hospital, Hospital

Authority, HKSAR discusses the importance of initial capital cost, stand-alone facility system, new

and sophisticated facility technology with Pharma IQ Editor Bryan Camoens. He also examines the

evolution of health facilities in Asia.

Bryan Camoens:

Could you please highlight the do’s and don’ts of building the health facility as a brand

identity?

Dr Eric Chan:

Do: Focuses on the creation of a patient-centered framework, evidence-based design,

performance-based approach, plan for change, solution for uncertainty and building with a highly

efficient modular setting to achieve greater flexibility, adaptability and integration.

Don’t: Stress the importance of initial capital cost, stand-alone facility system, new and sophisticated

facility technology. Creation of the hospital brand identity: Excellent integrated sustainable design

(tangible and quantifiable) to show how hospital contributes to its environment- ease of access and

reach with straightforward integration with various transport facilities.

Bryan Camoens:

What are some of the techniques in Design and Develop Health Facilities that Continue

Functioning During Disasters and Natural Calamities?

Dr Eric Chan:

A well thought out strategy for emergency preparedness is needed in design and development of

health facilities with particular focus on the capacity in managing surge in demand. While the design

should include dual feed and supply for the selected mission critical facilities, decontamination with

considerations of patient flow, security and convertibility are equally important during disasters and

natural calamities of crisis.

Bryan Camoens:

How to maintain basic lifelines of a health facility? Power, water, waste management and

disposal?

Dr Eric Chan:

A risk-based systematic surveying and surveillance system is applied in hospital facilities to capture

the condition of their performance. This is the integrated platform (CMMS and CCMS) for prompt

corrective maintenance on top of the planned and preventive overhauling to the system under the

3-year rolling plan of the overall budget. Departmental drills in line with the contingency plan will

be conducted periodically with clinical fronts. Internal and external facility and quality auditors will

then carry out review of the whole process of works and drills.

Bryan Camoens:

What are some of the challenges in overcoming techniques in existing hospital developments

while integrating sustainable features?

Dr Eric Chan:

Stewardship of the environment towards sustainability in design and construction of heath facilities

is based upon the concept of triple bottom lines approach in which the best solution is the

intersection of consideration of social, environmental and economical context. The challenges faced

include immaturity and uncertainty of the green technologies, life cycle assessment, and applicability

in health sectors. Some of the integrated sustainable features cover water conservation, renewable

energy, heat recovery, cleaner production, recycled materials and environmental quality in the use

of space to achieve low emission, green roof, shading, accessibility to daylight, views and operable

windows.

Bryan Camoens:

What are some of the key factors that need to be taken into account when retrofitting and

renovating a health facility?

Dr Eric Chan:

Key factors include building structure, mechanical and electrical infrastructure, clinical service need

and development, patient flow, security, privacy, decanting, service diversion, contractual

arrangement, construction management, noise and dust prevention, budgetary control, cash flow

management and commissioning.

Bryan Camoens:

What are some of the future proofing Health Facility Development Trends and Techniques

that we will begin to see?

Dr Eric Chan:

The pace of innovation, plurality of provision and technological advances will end up with

significant variance in working patterns. It is not easy to have a future proofing design. However,

development of new health facility offers a unique opportunity to provide efficient, safe, quality,

green and sustainable environments to meet the needs of a modernized health service. New facilities

can be a catalyst for change with impact on the behaviour and questioning conventional planning

assumptions and layouts of design. Techniques applied can provide efficient and effective layouts

that support productive workflows that make best use of staff and technology by realizing better

patient flow, reducing waiting time and making it easy to find places. It should also aim at

improving safe working with zero IOD and contained energy and operational cost for the new

buildings.

Bryan Camoens:

What do you the future of health facilities design and development evolving over the next

decade?

Dr Eric Chan:

Design with the consideration of carbon footprint, maximizing the potential of the site, integration

seamlessly into the community, flexibility and elasticity in changing the space to cope with the

clinical and functional needs without significant time and cost impact, grouping functions with

similar requirements can offer more economic layouts and together with being more adaptable to

change. Structural grids, building services and headroom can be designed to suit activities rather

than having to be the same throughout the building with high degree of interchangeability to increase

the space utilization rate. Consideration of the planning for future expansion and flexibility of use in

the layout for vertical and horizontal circulation shall be made.
