Early Design Involvement (EDI) is HCA Healthcare’s version of the design-assist process. Focusing on feeding our vision of continuous improvement, eliminating waste and reducing cost, the EDI program offers an opportunity for the entire team to purposefully unite and align efforts on achieving these goals. This method of project delivery is flow-dependent versus resource-dependent which greatly affects a project team’s approach for scheduling, manpower, and overall execution of the project. HCA believes that this provides a better value by lowering the overall cost of the project while increasing the quality of the final product.
