Experienced and thoughtful occupancy and transition planning ensures that a healthcare provider can:

• Move all patients safely and efficiently
• Minimize the impact on revenue and expense
• Use resources (staff, financial, equipment) wisely
• Provide consistent high-quality healthcare service on opening day

FDI collaborates with you to ensure that your transition is smooth and resource-efficient. By overseeing the planning, we enable you to spend critical time managing this “once-in-a-career” project.

FDI has the knowledge and experience to address all issues associated with your transition. We'll work directly with your staff to help alleviate any concerns.

FDI’s occupancy and transition planning services will help you:

Maintain continuous operations. We work with your departments to maintain ongoing operations in the existing facility while ensuring that all services are available for activation on opening day at the new or renovated areas.

Develop a budgeting strategy. We help you identify one-time costs to create a realistic budget for transition-related expenses, while minimizing lost revenue.

Educate employees. Everyone is considered a “new employee” when you move into a new or remodeled facility. But employees need to hit the ground running that first day. We can help by developing a comprehensive orientation program to prepare your employees for business as usual.

Address licensing issues. Licensing and certification are critical aspects of occupancy planning. FDI can help identify required changes.

Coordinate support services. A move can have a heavy impact on ancillary departments.  We synchronize support-service activities with the construction schedule to ensure the building is ready for business as planned.

Engage the entire organization. A successful transition begins with your employees.  We help you gain the involvement and support of staff, physicians and other critical stakeholders.
