Introducing Innovation Procurement Methods: Rawicz County Hospital, Poland
Rawicz County Hospital is a 200 bed county hospital serving a population of about 69,000 in the west of Poland. The hospital was built in late 1920's and still mainly operates from these buildings today. The Hospital Board faces a major challenge: it needs to secure funding for, and complete, a programme of refurbishment by the end of 2016 in order to meet legal infrastructure standards and patient expectations for a high quality clinical environment.
As part of the LCB-HEALTHCARE project, the CEO is exploring how this necessary refurbishment could be an opportunity to increase the energy efficiency of the hospital, enhance the patient and clinical environment, and ensure that the clinical services meet the needs of the region and its population into the future.
