Ambulatory CareSolutions

Why SSOE Group?

The evolution of hospital-based and physicians’ office-based services has created a new hybrid of facilities designed to deliver optimum ambulatory care services. To be successful, these facilities must be easily accessible and comfortable for patients; strategically located; operationally effective; and support business models that work for both physicians and the health system. The range of options for ambulatory care solutions will continue to evolve as reimbursement patterns and technology changes.

SSOE’s team of healthcare experts responds to these specialized requirements by working as a team with our clients. We create cost-effective solutions that maximize the benefits of ambulatory care for patients, physicians, hospital systems, and developers. We know how to work with all types of physicians and specialists, whether individual or large group practices.

Providing efficient ambulatory care solutions is essential to the operational and financial success of the health system. It requires professionals to recognize that these centers are a unique type of facility—significantly different from hospital-based centers. Patient through-put, convenience, functional adjacencies, and “right-sizing” all contribute to the positive outcome.

SSOE’s mission is to make our healthcare clients successful by delivering the highest value in architectural, engineering, and program management services.

Approach

Our broad experience in designing ambulatory care facilities has taught us to approach projects with humility. You know your business better than we do, so we dismiss any preconceived ideas about your specific needs. We don’t form a solution before we thoroughly understand your practice and procedures. Our process begins with listening and learning about your requirements and vision for the project and offering professional insight based on our diverse healthcare experience and backgrounds. Our goal is to deliver the best possible facility for your needs, earn your future business, and build a relationship with you that will make future projects even more successful.

Testimonials

“Covenant HealthCare has worked with SSOE since 1998 on multiple projects from a five-year master plan for our merger that helped us save money and operate more efficiently, to specialized centers, to the nuts and bolts of mechanical and electrical design of a boiler plant project. We’ve handed them responsibility for a $20 million project with complete confidence in their capabilities.

As you can imagine, given this range of projects, SSOE has encountered all that is inherent to architectural and engineering design and development, owner demands and contractor issues. Through it all they have displayed the highest level of professionalism, exhibited flexibility, protected the owner’s interest, and delivered an end product of the highest quality.“

“I can’t say enough about the level of dedication and responsiveness SSOE has demonstrated on our projects. They weren’t satisfied to simply do a good job. They wanted to do an impressive one and they have what it takes to do that. Because they were as invested in the outcome of the project as we were, they continually looked for ways to add value to the end product. Thanks to their recommendations and creative input we have better-designed, more cost-effective facilities than we anticipated.“

Mt. Clemens Regional Medical Center

“Our relationship with SSOE throughout our project couldn’t have been better. They did an outstanding job of infusing creativity into the design without exceeding the budget. In fact, their innovative thinking added both short and long-term value to our significant investment. Every medical staff member, facilities person, and administrator I’ve talked to is thrilled with the facility.”
