Project Results & Key Metrics:

Customer Value
The Josie Robertson Outpatient Surgical Facility has benefited from applying the commissioning process; MSKCC Engineering requirements were more fully integrated into the design process through the Feasibility and Design Review phases, and quality assurance was delivered through field-testing and verification. Concurrently, solutions were facilitated with the project team to close identified issues.
A total of two hundred-seventy-four (274) issues were identified and resolved during the Design Phase. Sixty (60) issues were identified during the Construction and Acceptance Phases of the commissioning process. At project completion, all open items in the design, construction, acceptance, and post-acceptance phase had been resolved.
