Long Range Facilities Planning  We at HFP feel strongly that even if a healthcare facilty is not contemplating a construction or renovation project in the near future, a comprehensive, long range master plan should be developed as a guide  in accomplishing the facilities objectives, both immediate and long range.  HFP therefore, offers their services directly to the health facility in the functional and architectural programming and long range master planning.  Our goals in long range planning are to develop an acceptable scheme for the health facility that will allow it to grow and change as the changing patterns in the delivery of healthcare demand. The key word in our approach is flexibility, since we firmly believe that if an institution is needed and belongs to the area, it should be capable of remaining on it's site in the form of a viable institution providing the highest quality of care in the most up-to-date facilities. To accomplish this end with little threat of obsolesce and minimum effort operational costs, the institution must be capable of expansion and rejuvenation with minimum effort.  Areawide Health Planning As an outgrowth of HFP's constant exposure to the planning process in many hospitals, and the firms experience in projecting long range master plans for individual hospitals over a number of phases, the firm's frequently asked to provide comprehensive, areawide studies of the need for and feasibility of additional healthcare services. In response to such requests, HFP is prepared to assist in determining current and projected health care needs on a regional basis; review existing services in terms of their ability to meet needs, and make recommendations concerning new or expanded services required.  Medical Professional Office Building Planning HFP has developed a service specifically to assist clients in the planning and structuring of buildings housing doctor's offices and their related support facilities. Our goal, in offering this service, is to aid the devlopment of medical / professional office buildings that will function with the greatest possible efficiency.
