Everyday Extraordinary Healthcare

An estimated 164,500 hospitals around the world are expected to stand for 70-100 years. For owners and operators, buildings with older or even newer systems that aren’t flexible present many challenges when it comes to meeting sustainability requirements, efficiency parameters, and ever-changing clinical needs. A truly modern building will flex with changing demands. The building’s infrastructure will adapt and accommodate new systems and devices.

Facilities teams must maintain extraordinary operations, so their clinical teams can continuously deliver extraordinary care, every day. But a reactive approach to asset performance management exposes hospitals and clinicians to critical risks and uncertainty. Digitization drives real-time, data-driven decisions through predictive analytics and while proactive maintenance optimizes asset availability and performance, keeping your operations more productive and profitable.

The IoT revolution can help to improve the reliability and comfort of hospitals’ electrical and environmental systems, while making them more efficient and helping control costs. Potential cybersecurity risks associated with digital IoT systems can be largely outweighed by the benefits, if managed properly.

Power reliability is literally a matter of life and death in medicine. As healthcare providers know, a power outage or interruption affecting an ICU, surgical theater, procedure room, vaccine storage area, electronically locked drug-dispensing unit or long-term care facility can do more than disrupt care and work flows; it can cause harm and cost lives.
