Answers
Q: Who uses OR International's services?

Our partners or sponsors can be physicians and physician groups, real estate developers, hospitals and other healthcare providers, payors, and financial institutions.
Q: What results does OR International deliver?

ORI delivers turnkey projects rapidly, as a principal or consultant, ensuring that they are cost effective and are designed to meet best-known clinical practices.
Q: Do you concentrate on specific geographic areas? ORI seeks specialty hospital projects in both the United States and internationally.
Q: What is the process that ORI uses? ORI begins by developing a sound clinical proposition and business plan. We work to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals and engage our Preferred Provider architects to design the facility. We arrange financing. Where appropriate, the team oversees a streamlined construction approach ('design/build' or 'construction management'). During the construction period the ORI team draws up facility operating protocols and recruits seasoned management and staff to open the facility. The senior ORI core team responsible for the development of the facility oversees the commissioning of the facility, arranging for third party reimbursements and maintaining on-going operations. Thereafter, we work under contract to sustain first-rate performance to improve productivity and recommend new technologies as they become proven in leading institutions.
Q: If we want to contract with ORI, do we have to sign on to have ORI handle the development and construction of the entire project, or will you work us on particular stages of the project?

 In our fee-for-service business, ORI's role by its nature is that of a comprehensive 'consulting developer' and, thereafter, as the hospital manager. Although it is difficult to split these roles, ORI can begin work with sponsors at various stages of project development and carry on through project completion and hospital management.
Q: How does ORI shorten the amount of time to develop and construct a specialty surgical facility?

ORI combines business and clinical expertise to help sponsors and partners quickly agree on a compelling clinical proposition and develop this rapidly into a business plan attractive to the financial community. ORI brings tested and efficient facility designs and ideas and works with architects, construction managers and construction firms in expedited design and construction processes. At each stage, ORI's clinical and business team bring authoritative experience to bear to expedite consensus building and move the project forward forcefully to achieve the earliest possible date for having a well-designed, efficient, specialty hospital facility ready for patient care.
Q: What specialized resources does ORI offer for developing specialty surgical facilities? ORI brings senior, prestigious doctors—with specialties including cardiovascular surgery, neursurgery, orthopedics and others, anesthesiologists with additional responsibilities for PACU's, and a range of nursing leaders to work on clinical issues of specialty hospitals. In addition, ORI brings technical skills in information technology, supply chain, and advanced imaging to design and other hospital administration services. ORI involves leading U.S. academic medical centers in its work as well.
