The prerequisite for the realisation of a health centre is an assessment of the local medical care situation. It must be checked whether the practicing doctors in the region are interested in realising a medical centre or health centre. In the first step, 4-5 interested doctors in private practice and/or an inpatient facility are sufficient to carry out a feasibility analysis with a positive prognosis. The feasibility study answers the following questions:

​

• Is a health centre at the intended location realistic due to the medical care situation, the environment, the catchment area, population development, infrastructure, etc.?

• Which medical specialisations and focal points of the centre can be realised in the centre?

• Which inpatient facilities are interested in participating in the project?

• Which other medical or social service providers can be considered as tenants for the centre (nursing services, kindergarten, hearing aid acousticians, pharmacists, etc.)?

• What is the overall space requirement of the building in order to be able to map the planned functions and create an economic benefit?

• What rent is realistic for the location due to the market situation and what construction costs can be expected?

• Which financing model is suitable and is there an operator model preferred by tenants?

 

The feasibility analysis forms the first basis for decision-making. On this basis, a joint decision can then be made as to whether or not it makes sense to realise the medical centre. If the decision is negative, this is also a valuable result, as wrong investments are avoided and resources can be used in realistic alternative projects.
