Enhancing value creation at the front-end of a collaborative hospital construction project
Abstract Healthcare projects are characterized by a complex operating environment with high degree of uncertainty due to a large number and variety of stakeholders with their conflicting interests. It is difficult to define project specific objectives and requirements due to the accelerating pace of change in medical and technological development. The development of healthcare often consists of large construction projects and represents large investments and changes in established welfare systems, making the setting of strategic goals of hospital construction projects crucial. All this makes the front-end phase the most significant in hospital construction projects. The main aim of this research is to contribute to value creation in a collaborative hospital construction project, especially to the front-end of the project. This work applies a qualitative research approach and utilizes a case study methodology. The data for this research has been collected through a survey and semi-structured interviews and workshops. The results indicate in relation to the earlier research that simply providing an appropriate way to implement a collaborative project—by enabling early participation and interaction—with appropriate interoperability tools and methods by repeating “early involvement and integration,” "focus on people," and "value for money" is simply not enough. There is a lack of systematic processes for planning and managing the front-end phase of hospital construction projects. A more systematic and comprehensive process can help clients and project stakeholders define their goals and requirements more precisely so that value expectations and implementation concepts, as well as skills needed to succeed in value creation, can be defined at an early stage. This dissertation is an effort to bridge the research gap by focusing on enhancing value creation by investing in the front-end phase of a hospital construction project. ; Tiivistelmä Terveydenhuoltoalan sairaalarakennushankkeille on ominaista kompleksinen ...
