New Royal Children's Hospital Case Study
New Royal Children’s Hospital Site: In 2005, the Victorian State Government announced plans to build a brand new 334-bed home for RCH adjacent to the current site.

The winning bid of the redevelopment is led by Babcock & Brown with architects Billard Leece Partnership and Bates Smart Architects. HKS Inc. Architects of Dallas, Texas provided Pediatric Design and Planning Services and consulting engineers Norman Disney & Young.
Work commenced on the site in late 2007, and was complete in late 2011, opened by the Queen on her Royal Tour.

    Two years later, when the team was ready to order the 9,000 plus items from the list, the changing nature of medical technology meant some of the desired pieces no longer fit into the spaces they were designed for. The management team held an equipment summit, and Project leaders called together stakeholders from across the team, from the construction manager to purchasing experts, each and every stakeholder weighed in. The materials management department knew what items they could get from vendors below list price and the construction team showed them where we could modify interior walls and where we could not. From that summit, the project team created a tightly controlled change-control process to vet requested equipment changes. The project team’s change management practices not only stopped equipment needs from breaking the budget ($260 million) but also prevented stakeholder feedback from creating scope creep. Ms. Susan Voltz, PMP, senior director, strategy and project management, from Nemours said “We were designing a hospital, creating all the operational processes, starting to procure equipment, procure and install IT systems, go through regulatory processes, designing space and creating space—all without the input of the key physicians and clinicians who would actually be using the space.” (La Plant, L.,…

    To date, Sheppard Pratt of Ellicott City is in the process of getting a newer building. However, the process has been delayed several times for budget reasons. The building being finished is in the five year plan for Sheppard Pratt. The ground has been broken for the new building but production is moving slow.

I see sometimes the frustration of the staff on the unit who has to wait to meet with clients until space becomes available to do so. I have sat in on treatment team meetings where the room was smaller than a client’s room but had to fit the…

    I always address any issues regarding delayed transfer and receiving babies from other hospital as ex utero transfer and inutero transfer. I always communicate well with obstetric team and paediatric team regarding bed status. We have many long-term patients who can stay for up to 4 months, so it can be difficult and frustrating when we need to urgently admit patients but don't have a bed to do so. It requires a lot of juggling and moving of patients within short-term beds both within our directorate and other wards.…

    Aims: In this visit I am going to make some small and big chocolate buns with Ellis. I think this will help his physical development, especially his sensory development as well as helping understand that you need patience.

I will also look out for when he is giving the buns out to people after we have made them. I will see if he asks if they want a big or small one.…

    For example for the Northampton Lunatic Hospital in 1910, the buildings were remodeled and many additions were made. The “Day Barn” had been remodeled to help accommodate 30 calves and the basement floor was mainly to house the 40 steers. Eight acres of land was cleared, plowed, and fenced for the farm. The infirmary building for women was only one story high. Passageways between the buildings on each floor were necessary. A sunroom on each floor was also being provided. Cement walks from the highway up until the entrance of the hospital have been laid making accessibility easier for patients. (Hurd, Drewry, Dewey, Pilgram, & Blumer,…
