Our Projects:CCI is a leading-edge healthcare project management firm offering services to healthcare and business communities around the globe. Clients include: international governments, ministries of health, regional health authorities, individual healthcare facilities (both public and private) and healthcare investment firms. Services encompass all aspects of healthcare project management—from business plans and clinical program design, to governance and quality assurance models, to facility design, equipment planning and operational strategies. Below is a sampling of some of our projects. Children’s Cancer Hospital, Cairo, EgyptCCI is proud to be working with the Children’s Cancer Hospital 57357 (CCH) to ensure that state-of-the-art medical treatment for children with cancer is available in Egypt and across the Middle East. With construction of the facility almost complete, CCI’s is developing a patient care system that meets international standards. Specifically, CCI is bringing CCH to full operating status and promoting long-term sustainability by establishing the hospital’s clinical program plan as well as providing governance, HR, financial planning, quality management and IT consultancy. CCH will be the largest free-standing Paediatric oncology centre of excellence in the world. National Oncology Programme/Centre - Phase One, Trinidad and Tobago, W.I.The Government of Trinidad & Tobago initiated a National Health Services Plan (NHSP) as part of their overall Health Sector Reform Program which recognized the importance of cancer treatment and recommended improvements in treatment facilities consistent with rationalization of tertiary care services. The NHSP called for the establishment of a National Oncology Centre aimed at earlier diagnosis, effective treatment and care, and a reduction in cancer mortality and morbidity. The Centre would also provide a focus for cancer care throughout the Caribbean. Comprehensive Care International was contracted to undertake a National Oncology Programme/Centre Techno-Economic Feasibility Study to provide the functional link between National Oncology Programme planning and the associated facility. The study defined and justified the centre’s scope of work including programmes, services and associated workload, staffing, staff training, equipment, space requirements, and the costs associated with the delivery of the services.
National Oncology Programme/Centre - Phase Two, Trinidad and Tobago, W.I.CCI was hired to provide expert assistance to the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago (GORTT) to develop a commercial contract and financing structure for the implementation of the National Oncology Programme and Centre. CCI worked with GORTT to help them review various financing structures, such as direct pay, capital lease and Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) etc., and determine the one which best met their objectives and ability to pay. Once the financing option was chosen, CCI helped facilitate the organization of this financing. CCI also developed a commercial contract for GORTT’s consideration which, fairly allocated risk and cost among the parties. National Oncology Programme/Centre - Phase Three, Trinidad and Tobago, W.I.The objective of CCI’s consultancy is to build a comprehensive cancer control system complete with a new National Oncology Centre (NOC) to serve the population of Trinidad & Tobago and the surrounding region. The NOP/NOC is intended to provide comprehensive cancer services to 3,000 new patients per year and serve a population of 1.5 million. The NOC will serve as a focal point for Team-Based Patient Care Planning so that surgeons throughout the hospital system (both public and private) would have access to the resources and expertise of oncology specialists. The cancer centre is envisioned to provide state-of-the-art care and co-ordinate a full program of cancer control services. The design of the centre provides for a beautiful environment, carefully structured to clearly separate ambulatory and in-patient services. The NOC will be fully integrated with the existing hospital (Eric Williams) to provide seamless care to cancer patients. In addition to excellence in technical care, it is intended to be a monument to public healthcare in which the people of Trinidad & Tobago can take great pride. The NOC will incorporate the most forward thinking trends in oncology centre design, technology, equipment and structure. While CCI has completed its contract, Trinidad continues to implement the project. Peterborough Regional Health CentreCCI was retained by the Peterborough Regional Health Centre (PRHC) to provide high quality, cost effective detailed inventory planning of furnishings and equipment (F&E) for a new 700,000 square foot facility. The existing PRHC was located on three sites and was being consolidated to one new facility. The intent of the consultancy was to inventory the three existing sites for all F&E and assess for reuse. CCI took the functional program and analyzed it to defend a capital budget and then collapsed it with the inventory reuse report to ascertain a capital equipment budget. These reports were submitted to the Ministry of Health for approval. Once approved, CCI bundled and standardized F&E packages by providing unbiased performance specifications for the tendering of all F&E. This ensures transparency. All technical data (i.e. electrical requirements) was determined by CCI’s technical team and forwarded to the consulting architects/engineers. CCI’s technical team produced high quality furniture drawings showing placement to ensure that discrepancies are addressed prior to construction commencing. National Cancer Institute of BrazilThe Brazilian National Cancer Institute (INCA) engaged Comprehensive Care International (CCI) to review their operations and provide recommendations for the institutional strengthening necessary to position the National Cancer Institute as the leader of a strategic planning process to develop a National Cancer Control Program. CCI developed a Strategic Plan for a National Cancer Control Program (NCCP). Part of this plan included recommendations for the Institutional Strengthening of INCA and the development of their capabilities to lead the NCCP and deliver quality services. One of the many recommendations made in the Strategic Plan for a NCCP was the development of a Cervical Cancer Screening Program. Cervical Cancer was the second leading cause of death by cancer in Brazil, making Brazil’s incidence and mortality risks amongst the highest in the world. CCI developed a well-organized Cervical Cancer Screening Program, capable of achieving a coverage rate of 85% of the at-risk group. The development of this program taught INCa the skills necessary to evolve the organization into a leadership role to which aspired and eventually met. On completion of the planning process, CCI was asked to continue its partnership with INCa and assist with the implementation of the plan over a two-year period. The Cervical Cancer Screening Program established five pilot sites in key regions of Brazil. In 1998, CCI won the Canadian Award for International Cooperation for the planning and development of an organized cervical cancer-screening program for Brazil. National Cancer Institute of Costa Rica CCI was engaged by the National Cancer Institute in Costa Rica to design a state of the art cancer hospital properly integrated at the primary and secondary health sectors and to develop a Functional Program and Business Plan for the national hospital to be constructed. CCI further developed an Implementation Plan for all training and institutional strengthening to be able to operate the system autonomously to a Canadian standard, developed a capital and operating budget for the project and raised all the financing required. CCI’s full scope of services included:
