Study of Technical Productivity as a Tool for the Development of the IPS Universitaria Infrastructure Master Plan

The design of an infrastructure roadmap was elaborated for the IPS Universitaria of the city of Medellín, which has an approximate execution time of 10 years and is made up of a total of 71 infrastructure improvement projects with which it seeks to achieve national accreditation in health services. An important challenge was the existence of an old physical plant in structure and in the composition of its technical networks. The plan was designed with special emphasis on improving hospital productivity, through the implementation of different strategies that would allow an adequate separation and independence of hospital flows, technical capacity improvement, for vertical and horizontal transport between floors and blocks, guaranteeing a proper relation between each clinical service and their interdependent services, reducing the physical critical connections between services passing from 33 to 0% in them, from 30.01 to 22.8% in moderately critical connections and from 34.4 to 77.2% in no critic type relations.
