Anyone who has participated in this complex experience — not only hospital leaders and staff but also patients and their families — values the unique opportunity presented by this transition phase. For many healthcare facilities, including hospitals and ambulatory care centers, a move can be an opportunity to transform and improve operations to correlate with the new facility.
