A $147 million facility renovation plan at Sarasota Memorial Hospital sparked an effort to ensure that the newly designed/renovated space would be both effective and functional. Effectively, the space would meet business and operational goals while functionally optimizing the square footage available. Simulation was used to test department design at the blueprint stage. Clarifying operational objectives, gathering and summarizing data into a concise form, and testing the design through simulation, resulted in a project, which realized tremendous savings in construction and operational costs, and improved the patient process.
