    Study Notes

    Hospital-Adjacent Hotels

    • Hospitals are increasingly discharging patients to nearby hotels or homes, leading to greater demand for hospitality services
    • Hotels near healthcare facilities experience higher occupancy rates.
    • Financing for these projects is readily available as banks and hospitals see the potential for built-in customer bases.

    Lodging and Healthcare Integration

    • Hotels and hospitals collaborate through Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) to provide discounted rates, transportation, and other services.
    • Hotels and hospitals are housed together in the same building, offering patient rooms, family rooms, and wellness/medical care facilities.
    • Mixed projects under the same ownership are strategically designed to meet the needs of patients, families, and transient guests.

    Design, Amenities, and Services

    • Hotel rooms need to be modified to satisfy the needs of patients, business travelers, and leisure travelers while adhering to ADA standards.
    • Hotel amenities should be tailored to the needs of guests, such as adjustable beds, nurse call systems, and specialized bathroom features.
    • Hotel services must be customized for traveling patients, including quick check-in, efficient concierge, translation, first aid training, 24-hour room service, and shuttle services.

    Staff Training & Recruitment

    • Training and recruitment of staff is critical to provide seamless services and cater to the specific needs of patients.
    • Key challenges include community engagement, financing, management systems, distribution channels, legal issues, marketing and branding, standardization, and measurement systems.

    Hotel Negotiation

    • Egencia suggests negotiating with three-to-four-star hotels, encouraging travelers to book hotels with free amenities, and negotiating with specific hotels to get the best value.
    • Consider independent hotels as they may offer better rates and amenities.
    • Negotiate last-room availability clauses to secure negotiated rates regardless of room availability.

    Safety Considerations

    • Prioritize guest safety and ensure hotels meet their needs.
    • Avoid hotels where handicap access rooms are above the third floor because fire trucks typically cannot reach higher floors.
    • Consider the safety of physically challenged and morbidly obese clients and ensure appropriate furniture arrangements.
    • Provide detailed information on food ingredients to accommodate patients' dietary restrictions.

    Medical Tourism

    • Chinese medical tourists tend to pay out-of-pocket, with limited private health insurance coverage.
    • Demand for medical tourism originates from Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities in China, particularly in southern provinces.

    Wuhan: A 2nd-Tier City

    • Wuhan is less known to foreign tourists and attracts tourists mainly due to its location on the Three Gorges Dam cruise tour.
    • Wuhan offers a mix of historic buildings, modern amenities, and a sense of community with a mixed-use commercial and residential district.
