Reference groups
Separate consultation, direct with the architects and other members of the project team, continues to engage clinicians. This consultation has included a series of master planning workshops and more specific design consultation across the clinical specialty areas.
Clinical staff from the South Metropolitan Area Health Service were also engaged in the development of the Area Clinical Services Plan.
Consultation with stakeholders is continuing as the schematic and detailed design stages progress.
To ensure staff from various departments, hospitals and health services are consulted and given the opportunity to provide valuable input into the planning and development of the new hospital, a number of internal committees and working groups have been formed. These include:Facilities reference group
This group, made up of senior clinicians from both Royal Perth Hospital and Fremantle Hospital, was formed to guide the Fiona Stanley Hospital Taskforce during development of the project.
The group was formed to guide all site-wide operational principles, facility requirements and design solutions. It also aimed to ensure the integration of the various clinical services required to provide an efficient and patient-centric model of care for the new hospital.
The first major decision of the group was the endorsement of a set of guiding principles for the project.
Functional planning groups
The functional planning groups are inter-disciplinary groups that provide guidance on the operational principles, facility requirements and design solutions related to major areas of the hospital (eg critical care).
The work of each functional planning group conforms to the principles and other facility-related decisions of the facilities reference group.
Service reference groups
As part of the development of its clinical services plan, the South Metropolitan Area Health Service undertook a detailed clinical services planning process that involved the formation of more than 40 specialty-based service reference groups. The service reference groups include those for clinical, clinical support, non-clinical and general support services.
These groups and a number of others were formed in early 2007 to provide invaluable input into the Fiona Stanley Hospital project and offer:
- a continuity of knowledge from the clinical services planning process; and
- integration of the Fiona Stanley Hospital into the area-wide clinical initiatives and service configuration.
The service reference groups met on an as-required basis and follow the principles and other facility-related decisions of the facilities reference group and functional planning groups.
