Communication and Coordination Across Departments
Effective communication and coordination across all departments within your facility are key to reducing downtime during relocation. Here’s how:
Notify Staff in Advance
Let all medical staff know about the relocation schedule well in advance. This will allow them to reschedule appointments, reroute procedures, and make adjustments to their daily operations as needed.
Appoint a Relocation Coordinator
Assign a point person from your facility to liaise with the relocation company. This ensures smooth communication and quick resolution of any issues that might arise during the process.
Patient Care Contingencies
Develop a patient care contingency plan in case the relocation affects critical medical services. For example, have backup equipment available or temporarily redirect patients to other facilities during the move.
