Sacramento-based Sutter Health has selected HGA to design a prototype for acute care facilities to serve as a template for future projects and renovations. The design will streamline project implementation, construction, and operations. The single-story prototype will be used for 60-bed and 120-bed hosptitals and will enable different configurations of key components to be built on sites of 20 acres. The template could reduce construction cost per bed from $2.5 million to a $1.5 million. The prototype will feature efficient, safe, and adaptable facilities with associated staffing plans and operational models, achieving up to 50 percent greater patient throughput and an estimated reduction in full-time workers of up to 46 percent. The prototype would require 30 percent less space and a 25 percent reduction in natural resources consumed. Construction time could be shortened by as much as 30 percent.
