    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Management
    • Geriatric Care
    • Hospital Administration

    Background:

    • Hospitals face challenges with excess acute care capacity.
    • An aging population requires specialized elder care services.
    • Highland Park Hospital (HPH) identified a need for skilled nursing facility (SNF) services.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the methodology for determining the required number of SNF beds.
    • To explore available development options for the new SNF.
    • To identify key factors influencing the facility design choices.

    Main Methods:

    • Needs assessment for SNF bed capacity.
    • Evaluation of different development and operational models.
    • Analysis of design considerations for a specialized SNF.

    Main Results:

    • A strategic plan was developed for SNF bed allocation.
    • Feasible development options were identified.
    • Critical design factors were established for the SNF.

    Conclusions:

    • The conversion of an acute care unit to an SNF is a viable solution for capacity issues and elder care needs.
    • Methodological planning is crucial for successful healthcare facility conversions.
    • Informed design choices ensure the facility meets patient and community requirements.
