Staff Wellbeing

Staff shortages and stress are taking a toll on the mental health of healthcare workers, impacting recruitment, retention, and the ability to deliver high-quality care. To address these challenges, HGA collaborated with leading academic centers to gather quantitative and qualitative data to identify Critical-to-Quality design features that support staff wellbeing and quality care in healthcare environments. Used as the foundation for a set of wellbeing guiding principles, this research allows us to adapt and build on our knowledge base to create positive experiences.

Academic Acute Care

To meet the evolving needs of academic medicine, our team continuously evaluates the planning and design of academic bed towers to improve efficiency in care delivery. Whether creating customized solutions that meet current delivery methods or envisioning universal care platforms that flexibly adapt to future delivery methods, we work with clients to cost-effectively prepare for long-term growth.

Modular Design and Prefabrication

HGA is leading the healthcare design industry with modular and prefabricated construction that improves quality while reducing cost. The benefits are clear: prefabrication streamlines scheduling, increases speed to market, requires less on-site labor, decreases site congestion and disruption, improves worker safety, and reduces construction waste. Modular design and prefabrication will continue to be an important part of our industry as we embrace new ways to deliver projects faster, cheaper, and of a higher quality without sacrificing design.

Speed to Market

Being first to cross the finish line has its advantages in a competitive building industry—namely increased revenue. Few institutions can afford an extended programming, design, and construction period that incur costs while generating no revenue. That’s why we employ industry-proven delivery strategies that improve speed-to-market outcomes. Throughout the development process, we work with interdisciplinary design and construction teams to meet ambitious goals and share risks, allowing healthcare systems to reinvest savings into expanded services.

Intelligent Hospitals

Technology is revolutionizing medicine and improving the experience of patients, families, and staff. The most advanced hospitals are leveraging technology for medical care, staff-patient communication, health and wellness education, telemedicine, and more comprehensive patient care. Through our interdisciplinary design processes that includes in-house expertise in building automation and technology, we integrate new technology seamlessly into building systems to enhance the growing options in healthcare delivery services.
