Capital Planning for Radiology Facilities

Tobias Gilk, MRSO, MRSE, Senior Vice President, RADIOLOGY-Planning and Robert P. Junk, AIA, AHRA, RAD-Planning

Planning and design are less expensive than capital construction. Construction is less expensive than radiology equipment and service contracts. Radiology equipment is of less value than the clinical services you’ll deliver over the 10-plus year life span of your radiology equipment … but what most shapes the efficiency and effectiveness of your ability to use that equipment is how insightful the planning and design of your facility was. This session identifies public resources for work-load calculations, equipment needs assessments and vendor-neutral facility designs that can flex with changing clinical and operational demands.
