PANEL DISCUSSION:
Shifting Away from Bigger is Better: Discussing the Future of Healthcare Facility Development
A growing emphasis on outpatient care is driving leaders to rethink traditional “bigger is better” healthcare facility models. While large, centralised hospitals
once dominated master planning, should the industry be shifting towards flexible developments that align with evolving care delivery models? Join our
expert panel as they examine how shifting priorities are reshaping facility design and capital planning, and explore innovative approaches to building
smarter, more adaptable healthcare environments that meet community needs without overbuilding.

PRESENTATION DISCUSSION:
Building Hospitals Better: Delivering Better Value Hospitals Faster
Health New Zealand’s Infrastructure and Investment Group is implementing a new way of working that uses standardised approaches, staged delivery and
strategic partnerships. By moving beyond transactional procurement models, Health New Zealand is looking to embrace a relationship-based approach
to Health Infrastructure procurement that prioritises long-term collaboration. A key element is the creation of a panel of project delivery partners, bringing
them into the organisation to foster a more integrated, collaborative environment. By integrating market partners early and fostering deeper engagement,
Health New Zealand is reshaping how hospitals are planned, procured, and built to drive efficiency and ultimately ensure the health system can meet the
growing needs of New Zealanders.
