 Abstract

In addition to cost effectiveness, possible contributions of real estate to organisational performance are incorporated in strategic corporate real estate management nowadays more and more. This paper explores the concept of adding value by real estate and how this concept is being applied in design and management of hospital accommodations. Added value of real estate is a multi-dimensional concept with multiple stakeholders being involved. Stimulating innovation, improving satisfaction of patients and staff, and supporting (change of) culture are ranked high in interviews with CEOs, corporate real estate managers and project leaders of hospitals. Real estate interventions are also directed to support labour productivity, flexibility and cost reduction. Remarkably, risk management and opportunities to use real estate financial value to finance organisational processes are much less recognised as important added values of hospital real estate. Priorities turn out to be different in the initiation phase versus buildings-in-use.
