PURPOSE

Healthcare commissioning is crucial for addressing the increasing demands of the patient population while reducing maintenance and management costs. However, commissioning committee members can encounter several challenges. Therefore, this study comprehensively examined the experiences of members of the Commissioning Final Readiness Committee involved in commissioning the Women's Health Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

METHODS

An exploratory qualitative design was used, utilizing semi-structured interviews guided by Gibbs's reflective cycle. A sample of 11 participants representing diverse healthcare professions was included to capture a broad spectrum of insights. The interviews were conducted within a supportive and anonymous framework, adhering rigorously to the ethical standards established by the King Abdullah International Research Center and Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs.

RESULTS

The findings revealed three main themes: (i) the role of the Commissioning Final Readiness Committee members, (ii) the reflective experiences of the Commissioning Final Readiness Committee members, and (iii) the recommendations of the Commissioning Final Readiness Committee members. These advancements were primarily attributed to the effective communication and collaboration among members.

CONCLUSION

Although the task complexities posed certain challenges, the participants viewed them as valuable learning experiences that contributed to their growth. The Commissioning Final Readiness Committee can significantly impact the commissioning process. Despite encountering uncontrollable factors, maintaining a cohesive team allows members to effectively navigate these difficulties and achieve professional growth.
