GROWTH AND EXPANSION CONSTRUCTION EFFICIENCY FOR LOWER COST  Lean techniques are already providing significant  benefits for UHS. At Temecula Valley Hospital, the  company will construct the new hospital building at a total cost that will be approximately 30 percent less than similar projects in California.  In South Florida, UHS started construction on a new three-story patient tower at Wellington Regional  Medical Center. The new addition will contain 80  private patient rooms, an eight-bed ICU step-down  unit on each floor and additional space for existing  services such as orthopedics, neurosurgery and  cardiology. The expansion will be put into service in November 2012. At Wellington Regional Medical Center, Integrated  Project Delivery identified the construction of patient  bathrooms as a time consuming stage of the building  process that slows the entire project.  By prefabricating bathrooms offsite and installing  the completed units as soon as the building’s framework is complete, UHS was able to cut six  weeks from the construction schedule. As a result, the hospital will be able to open its new patient tower six weeks earlier, before its busy winter season. As it builds new hospitals and expands existing facilities, UHS Design & Construction uses Lean  project management techniques to increase construction efficiency, shorten construction time and reduce the overall cost of the project. Integrated  Project Delivery, an important component of the Lean process, brings together all major partners in  each project during the design and planning phase  so they can collaborate to improve the building  process and eliminate waste to reduce cost and  deliver the project more cost effectively. 10 UNIVERSAL HEALTH SERVICES, INC.
