Integrated Workplace Management Systems for Healthcare
The healthcare industry is under more stress than ever before. Increasing competitive pressures, mergers and acquisitions, growth of planned care, and dynamic regulatory requirements are causing healthcare providers to fundamentally change the way they do business.
Healthcare organizations are facing constant pressure on the bottom line. Trends in paying a fixed amount per health plan member (capitation), decreasing fee-for-service, and reductions in reimbursements are limiting revenue growth. Due to their limited ability to increase revenues, healthcare organizations are focusing on controlling costs as the primary way to improve profitability.
At the same time, healthcare organizations are facing increased demand for service quality and the need to guarantee patient safety. Added to these forces is industry consolidation, which brings the need to rationalize combined infrastructures and justify the returns generated by the combined asset bases.
Healthcare organizations, by their very nature, are infrastructure-intensive. Maintenance of this infrastructure—facilities, real estate and assets—is critical. 100% up-time and reliability are required to serve patients and save lives. Healthcare organizations must know where everything is at any time—especially portable equipment and remote staff—and know maintenance histories and statuses at a moment’s notice. In addition, organizations need to tackle the construction of new facilities cost-effectively in order to increase their competitive position.
Regulatory compliance requirements do not result in bottom line improvements, but satisfying them is critical to the business. Your ability as an organization to report effectively, accurately and efficiently is largely driven by your understanding of your asset base and the information needed to meet those requirements.
Facing these challenges, healthcare organizations can turn to Integrated Workplace Management Systems from AssetWorks to maximize their infrastructure assets—facilities, real estate and assets—and use them strategically to operate and maintain the entire enterprise with lower headcount, fewer dollars, and less time.
