“Healthcare facility solutions are increasingly complex and expensive. Our ability to integrate medical technology knowledge within the design process results in planning solutions that are on target earlier and within budget.”

Technology Advisors for Healthcare and Science
Genesis Planning LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of WHR Architects, has provided planning expertise for more than 18 years to a broad range of clients on a national and international basis, ranging from physician groups to multi-organizational healthcare systems. Our clientele and experience includes over 300 healthcare organizations in 40 states and 17 countries throughout Central and South America, and Europe.

We strive to make our planning efforts support your organization’s vision, mission and values while optimizing the often-opposing forces of need and reality. Healthcare providers can no longer afford to embark on a planning process that does not realistically balance this common divergence.

Our services add value to our clients' planning initiatives. We reduce costs through a planning process that justifies capital requests based on true clinical and operational requirements, our knowledge of actual market pricing, our strategic approach to purchasing and the reduction of change orders due to our meticulous MEP planning coordination.

Genesis Planning LLC is guided by senior management whose background includes real world hospital experience and an average of over 25 years of technology planning, strategy and project management.

Design expertise, strategic thinking, innovative planning and experience establish Genesis Planning LLC as the leader in medical technology planning services.

Design Expertise
The evolution of technology has a direct impact on clinical operations and the design of the overall space it occupies. Genesis Planning LLC is routinely requested to take proactive involvement in the design of highly specialized clinical areas that involve the integration of different technologies.

We work with various manufacturers, clinicians and project architects on the design of Interventional Cath Labs; Integrated Operating Suites; Hybrid OR's and other evolving clinical settings. Our efforts for technology integration have included Imaging (Fluoro, X-ray, MR, Ultrasound), Image Guided Systems, Interactive Video, Medical Gases, Utility Arms and Lighting, and PACS and Data/Communications.

Strategic Thinking
Genesis Planning LLC provides planning services that support master facility plans for hospital facilities. Educating a client's management team about the cost of new equipment related to a proposed facility plan and costs associated with upgrading their current technology helps define an appropriate strategy.

Genesis Planning LLC works with the architects and hospital management to develop 5-year capital plans on both a departmental and hospital wide basis. This analysis evaluates future trends, new clinical services, recommended replacements and/or technology enhancements. With this insight, the management team can prioritize which individual projects within the Master Plans to perform and initiate proactive planning of their hospitals’ capital expenditures.

Innovative Planning
Genesis Planning LLC participates in final Design Development work sessions for projects utilizing the simultaneous screen projections of CAD drawings and equipment listings. All participants agree that this methodology greatly enhances the completion of the design process.

These reviews often cover more than 300,000 square feet; 30 Departments and over $26 million in medical equipment. This interactive effort allows hospital personnel to actually suggest and view real-time changes made to their room layouts and the selection and location of a space’s equipment.

At the end of our planning sessions, our equipment listings and budget projections were up to date and coordinated with the architect’s drawings.
