Location and time to occupancy are fundamental necessities for Critical Access Hospitals (CAH). Modular construction offers facility planners unprecedented flexibility to not only build hospitals in rural remote areas, but also decrease the construction timeline. With modular construction, hospitals are able to be operational and generate revenue sooner than traditional building methods allow.
The benefits of developing a CAH using Williams Scotsman’s Concurrent Construction™ process include:
- Speed: Time to occupancy is dramatically increased
- Financial savings: Cost savings on modular construction can mean more funding toward medical equipment purchases
- Efficiency: Workforce shortage, common in rural areas, does not impact the modular construction of CAHs because up to 90 percent of the construction can take place off-site in a factory controlled environment
- Sustainability: Modular construction is inherently sustainable because it minimizes construction waste and maximizes quality control
- Flexibility: All modules can be customized, reconfigured or relocated to suit your facility requirements
Modular building meets and often exceeds all state and federal CAH building codes. Our modular building solutions can accommodate a variety of the space and design requirements for CAHs, including:
- 24-hour emergency services area
- Inpatient rooms with access to natural light
- Acute care and swing patient rooms
- Examination rooms
- Operation rooms
- Physician and staff office areas
- Waiting room and registration desk
- Single or two-story facilities
