Technology Planning

As a core service integrated with NWG overall Technology Planning process, Communications and Information Technology Planning begins with an initial assessment, typically during the Facility Planning stage of the project and continues through the Schematic Design Phase. The Technology Planning service includes conducting user group meetings during the Design Development Phase, which all owner requests are documented and using the consulting engineer these requests will be implemented into the Construction Documents. This service also includes managing the Construction Procurement Phase utilizing the owner’s group purchasing agreements where applicable and maintains a strict compliance within the protocol provided by the owner. NWG takes into consideration the hospital’s strategic operational plan, the patient care model, and the unique requirements of the facility when designing systems and making recommendations. This process ensures an efficient system design and the maximization of staff productivity, patient care, and patient satisfaction using state-of-the-art technology while completing the project on time and within budget. NWG Technology Planning also fulfills all Owner, architect, engineering, and contractor requirements throughout the planning and construction process and parallels the overall phases of our Technology Planning approach.
