Why

Most client representatives do not know the requirements of every part of a complex healthcare facility. So, expecting them to provide a comprehensive brief is not practical.
Most designers are not experts at briefing and may not have specialist tools to do it efficiently. Tendency to brief facilities by a process of interviews simply takes too long. There are many benefits in outsourcing the briefing task, mainly time, cost and most importantly a fully compliant, professional and complete result out of the box.

How

Our experienced specialist Health Planners and Nurse Planners will consider all aspects of project requirements available to them prior to the preparation of a detailed brief.

The brief will include:

• The overall project framework
• Summary of Key Planning Units (KPU)
• Summary of Departments and areas
• Schedule of Accommodation (SOA)
• Selected Project Schedules such as FF&E by type, quantity, group and location
• Optional Room Data Sheets

Our specialists can also conduct briefing and consultation workshops for a range of project stakeholders including owners, users, operators, managers, designers, authorities and more.
The brief, if required can be refined LIVE during these workshops.

Alternatively we can prepare and issue the briefing information remotely and independently. We can either issue the briefs in electronic format or leave it LIVE on the HFBS platform and give you the password for access. Then you can refine and update it over time. One generation of revisions based on the client or consultant commentary is included as standard.

HFBS (Health Facility Briefing System) is suite of specialised software for Briefing, Design and Management of healthcare projects. This powerful web-based software suite is also the foundation and host of many Health Facility Guidelines around the wold. The HFBS Briefing Module is used for rapidly creating a project-specific brief based on the local health facility guidelines.
