   Opening Keynote: Zeke Triana, Vice President of Facilities Planning, Design and Construction for Cedars-Sinai

   Harbor Ballroom A

   How did Cedars-Sinai arrive at the decision to break ground on a new community hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic? Mr. Triana will discuss the broad spectrum of issues that factored into the decision to proceed with construction of a new 160-bed replacement facility for Cedars-Sinai Marina del Rey Hospital amid uncertain construction market conditions. Cedars-Sinai's thought process ultimately focused on a few critical questions: Why did it acquire the existing, 133-bed hospital in 2015? Why did the hospital need to be rebuilt? What is Cedars-Sinai building, and why now?
4. 10:00 am — 10:30 am

   Morning Keynote: Phyllis Baltz, President & CEO of Dignity Health Methodist Hospital of Sacramento

   Harbor Ballroom A

   Dignity Health has more than 30 hospital campuses across California and has profound expertise in master planning projects of all sizes; from new hospitals to major expansions, or growth of existing campuses. In January 2020, plans 10 years in the making came to a culmination as Dignity Health announced it will be building Elk Grove, California’s first hospital.

   Shortly thereafter, the world came to a pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic and healthcare systems were challenged to respond. Dignity Health was also faced with continuing to advance this project within the confines of an unforeseen health care crisis. Ms. Baltz will speak to these challenges and key community engagement strategies employed to keep this high-profile project moving forward

   Respond and Adapt to Emergency Conditions: A look at Facility Guidelines Institute’s White Paper on Emergency Conditions

   Harbor Ballroom G

   From the clinicians, support staff, facilities staff, and local communities, COVID-19 has proven the healthcare industry is a complex but adaptive system. The flexibility these groups have demonstrated has been exceptional. However, the impact of the pandemic on health facilities and operations coupled with hazards from more frequent weather-related emergencies has led the industry looking for more guidance on planning and designing for emergency conditions. In March 2021, the Facility Guideline Institutes (FGI) issued a white paper titled, “Guidance for Designing Health and Residential Care Facilities that Respond and Adapt to Emergency Conditions”. The paper was developed by 130 individuals representing multiple disciplines in the healthcare industry.

   This session will review the highlights of the FGI document and discuss ways the design and construction industry can help healthcare organizations respond to emergencies and plan mitigation strategies for future events.

    What Owner’s Need to Know about Design and Construction and How Lean Fits In

    Harbor Ballroom A

    Lean Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) is becoming more prevalent across the country, especially in the healthcare market sector. This increase in IPD projects brings together many collaborative partners and the role of the Owner Project Manager (OPM) and/or Owner's Representative becomes even more important. This presentation will confront the challenges faced by healthcare owner organizations and how these challenges are mitigated using Lean tools and thinking. Examples of how Lean project performance can maximize the use of capital funds for projects. The owners on the panel will discuss outcomes on projects they have completed with case studies and will explain their role and the challenges they have confronted as they attempt to evolve into a better project delivery method.

    Dedicated Commitment: Constructing through the Covid Pandemic

    Harbor Ballroom H

    The Jackson West campus in Doral, Florida, is a six-story precast and glass hospital complex with 100 licensed beds. A dedicated team labored through ever-increasing challenges during the COVID pandemic—a contaminated brownfield site; stringent FEMA site regulations for an essential facility; restrictions imparted by a Miami International Airport designated runway glide path; adjacency to a major interstate arterial; potential South Florida windstorms. The collaborative team was able to overcome and deliver this state-of-the-art facility that will forever serve the greater community at large where healthcare services were non-existent.

    Healthcare’s Race to Carbon Reduction

    Harbor Ballroom A

    A study published in May 2019 found the health care industry is among the most carbon-intensive service sectors in the industrialized world.  Research and analysis from that study showed the health care industry is “responsible for 4.4–4.6 percent of worldwide greenhouse gas emissions and similar fractions of toxic air pollutants, largely stemming from fossil fuel combustion.”  While health care facilities are the prime source, there are also significant emissions from the overall supply chain serving the healthcare industry.  Not surprisingly, the US health care system is “responsible for about a quarter of all global health care greenhouse gas emissions, which is more than the health care system of any other nation.”  Given the focus on detrimental health impacts from climate change that are predicted, the call to action for the US health care system to reduce carbon emissions has never been more important to our future.  Our session will discuss efforts being made in the public sector to encourage carbon reduction as well as sharing the journey of one US based health system to achieve Net Zero status.  We will also discuss the financial, environmental and societal impacts to health systems and communities as a result of carbon emission reduction efforts.

    Innovative Building Systems and Design Build Project Delivery - Modular Precast, Displaced Ventilation and Radiant Floors

    Harbor Ballroom H

    California’s long awaited new Skilled Nursing Facility and Memory Care Veteran’s Home in Yountville needed to fit into both a historic campus and CalVet’s limited maintenance budget while delivering outstanding skilled nursing care in a residential environment.  The Design Build team of Rudolph and Sletten and CannonDesign proposed to DGS and CalVet a full structural and architectural precast system designed and fabricated by Clark Pacific for the construction of a 300,000 SF, 240 bed Skilled Nursing Facility in 32 months.  The system is a first for an OSHPD 2 Skilled Nursing Facility and has tremendous benefits for its longevity, low maintenance, heavy mass energy performance and fire resistance in an area with recent wildfires and interior comfort using displacement ventilation and radiant heating in all patient rooms.  The team looks forward to delivering the project to continue the Yountville campus legacy of providing veteran healthcare since 1884 as the largest residential community of veterans in the US.

    IPD for Small Projects Under $10M

    Harbor Ballroom A

    The largest projects in the country get all the attention when it comes to innovation.  Those large projects are also rare to most areas of the county.  Small projects are more prevalent, more plentiful, and under more scrutiny.  The best way to solve our most complex issues is to work together and collaborate.  Integrated Project Delivery contracts for projects under $10M is such an important topic and if executed correctly can help Health Systems across the country be more successful and stretch the limited amount of capital dollars to many other projects.  

    This presentation will detail how a culture of collaboration can be built on small projects, the different methods for contracting under the IPD model, and how we manage projects that are even smaller (under $1M).  The presentation will be given from the Owner’s Perspective from an Owner’s Representative that has worked for a major Health System in Chicago for over 20 years.  Real world examples will be provided with numerous outcomes divulged to the audience.
