Welcome to episode 3 of Constructing with Care, a Podcast for healthcare executives to discuss topics affecting capital projects today. Today, you are listening to Part 1 of a series addressing the new capital balance of healthcare.
Kirsten Waltz, Senior Director of Facilities Architecture + Planning from John Hopkins Health System, and Kevin Matuszewski, Healthcare Strategist at DPR Construction join your host, Leslie Tullio. In this episode, they are going to take a deeper look at the new balance of capital for healthcare organizations and how their priorities have changed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Capital planning projects within the healthcare building space have faced new obstacles in recent years that are linked with a variety of digital, social, and environmental concerns; the increase in those considerations places more scrutiny on the capital of these organizations and has impacted their decision-making process around allocation. These new concerns will ultimately have ramifications on how capital projects are planned and delivered.
