Solution(s)
The redevelopment of any medical department is always a challenge for healthcare facilities. UHN has faced many at TWH during the redevelopment of its medical imaging department, such as:
- Replacing two (2) existing MRIs and add two (2) extra MRIs while maintaining the clinical activities at all time;
- Avoiding disturbances of the operating rooms (OR) and Day surgery on the level above its MRI department;
- Delivering four (4) MRIs in a high-density population group;
- Reinforcing existing structural slab and upgrading building mechanicals without services interruption.
