Overview
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, I was instrumental in managing the development of alternate care sites (ACS) to support hospitals overwhelmed by the crisis. These ACS facilities had to meet the rigorous standards set by the US Army Corps of Engineers to ensure safety, functionality, and efficient healthcare delivery.
CHALLENGES
- Coordinating the rapid development of healthcare facilities under tight timelines and unprecedented conditions.
- Ensuring all systems, including HVAC, power, and medical equipment, were fully integrated and operational before patient intake.
- Managing a cross-functional team under high pressure while dealing with supply chain disruptions and resource limitations.
SOLUTIONS
- Oversaw project planning and execution to meet stringent US Army Corps of Engineers standards for healthcare infrastructure.
- Led the integration of all necessary systems, including security, HVAC, and medical technologies, ensuring seamless functionality.
- Worked closely with suppliers, contractors, and healthcare providers to ensure the timely delivery of equipment and materials.
- Managed the deployment of a rapid response team to address issues promptly and ensure that all systems were functioning correctly.
RESULTS
- Successfully delivered alternate care sites on time, helping alleviate pressure on overwhelmed hospitals during the pandemic.
- Ensured that all systems were fully operational and met safety and operational standards, enabling the ACS facilities to operate efficiently.
- Contributed to the success of the national response to the pandemic, ensuring that healthcare providers had the infrastructure they needed to care for patients.
