The Business Case for Simulation-based Hospital Design Testing; $90M Saved in Costs Avoided
SbHDT harnessed evidence-based design to improve clinical care, optimize safety, and maximize investment. SbHDT was financially practical and had a significant impact on cost avoidance. Implementing SbHDT is associated with upfront costs, but long-term savings will accumulate over time through expenses avoided through mitigation of safety threats and operational savings.
