JLL Publishes Outpatient Fit Out Guide

JLL has published the 2022 Outpatient Fit Out Guide. Available at jll.com, the guide is a data-driven tool created to help healthcare organizations understand the full cost of renovating an outpatient facility in every major city across the U.S.

Specifically, the guide explores the costs associated with one of the strongest trends in healthcare: decentralizing a wide variety of care from hospitals to high-quality facilities within patients’ communities. This guide provides an average build-out cost nationally for outpatient care centers, broken into relevant cost categories, as well as supplying modifiers for higher-intensity medical uses.
