Healthcare Facility Consulting

„Healthcare Facility Consulting“ deals with consultancy in the context of healthcare facility planning. Activities in that field take place at the border between business management, medicine and the Architecture/Engineering/Construction (AEC) sector; they are embedded into a regulatory context in which the healthcare facility operates (e. g. social insurance).

The contents of this elective are taught in accordance to the life cycle of a healthcare facility: Planning, construction, commissioning, operation, renovation/adaptation or decommissioning. In that context, we will also look at international trends such as Green Building, Net Zero, Evidence- and Simulation-Based Planning.

Target Group

  • Graduates wishing to specialize in business organization projects in the context of healthcare facilities, also taking the latest developments in evidence-based construction or adaptation into account.
  • Healthcare specialists and members of the public sector who wish to familiarize themselves with the topic of planning of healthcare facilities (i.e. process planning, construction and/or adaptation, incorporation of novel technical equipment) with the intended goal of being able to participate actively in planning projects.
