The event was hosted by the Health Management Programs—directed by Nancy Borkowski—in the Chapman Graduate School of Business. The South Florida Healthcare Executive Forum, the Florida Chapter of the Healthcare Financial Management Association and the South Florida Chapter of the National Association of Health Services\u00a0Executives co-sponsored the program.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a world of declining reimbursements and increasing demand, these are challenging times so the program was quite valuable,\u201d Borkowski said.<\/p>\n

The three-hour symposium explored the impact of new technology including electronic health records and new clinical diagnostics, as well as patient safety and quality patient-centered care, in designing new construction.<\/p>\n

FIU alumnus Aurelio Fernandez (MHSA ’85, BBA ’74), CEO of Memorial Hospital Miramar, was among the 65 people attending this educational program and called it \u201cexcellent, very informative,\u201d and said that even a CEO could learn new information.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor instance, I learned I need to update some of my dollar-estimate information,\u201d he said. \u201cI had been using the $1M dollar per bed for construction costs but now realize the benchmark has moved to $1.5 to $2M per bed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Forum offers impressive lineup of panelists. <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cA high caliber roster of people served as panelists,\u201d said Stuart Podolnick, healthcare executive of Trane Commercial Systems, the program’s underwriter and presenting sponsor.<\/p>\n

Panelists for session one, \u201cBuilding the Hospital of Tomorrow: Rehabilitate, Renovate or Replace,\u201d were Heather Rohan, CEO of Aventura Medical Center; Laura Rygielski Preston, vice president, Global Healthcare Practice for Trane\/Ingersoll Rand; and Michael Hart, executive vice president of Harvard-Jolly Architecture.<\/p>\n
