Feinberg/Galter
Lessons Learned
• Transition took longer than anticipated
• Operational and department changes were unclear to staff
• Expect and hire for full census
• Pilot all new technology and assure staff have adequate training
• Assure FFE is delivered to the appropriate department and remains
in that department
Feinberg/Galter
Lessons Learned (cont.)
• Time between Facility Completion-Grand Opening Events-Move
was too short for staff and vendors
– Department Readiness
– Staff Readiness
• Clearly understand the scope of facility transition and the related
impact on stabilization post move
– Department Readiness
– Technology Readiness
– Staff Readiness
• Assure PAR levels meet new patient demand
• Vacated facilities represent operational and cost challenges
Prentice Women’s Hospital
Unique challenges existed with the Prentice Transition plan
• OB & NICU patient move plans would require different clinical
assessments
• More monitored patients would be moved (L&D and NICU)
• More families would want to move with the patient (L&D, NICU and
PP)
• Opportunity existed to communicate the move plan to patients earlier
• Support departments would need to focus on both Feinberg
operations as well as Prentice move needs
• Complexity and scope of technology had increased dramatically
Transition Plan
A well defined plan assured smooth activation of the new Prentice.
• The Transition Plan extended beyond Prentice Women’s Hospital
and involved a majority of the Northwestern Memorial Hospital
departments.
• Each department/unit established a detailed plan highlighting the
move-related activities the year of the move.
Transition Plan
The move and activation plans were consistent with
Northwestern Memorial Hospital’s mission and strategic plan initiatives.
