4Trends Impacting Healthcare Facility Management
- Continued cost pressures
- Increased regulatory compliance
- Need to support critical operations
- Renewed focus on infrastructure and technology
investments - Underfunded over last decade
- Through 2010, 75 of U.S. hospitals expect to
increase capital spending annually by average of
14 HFMA
Nearly half of hospital CFOs surveyed by the HFMA
reported their infrastructures were deteriorating
faster than they could make capital improvements.
5Capital Asset Management Systems (CAMS)
- MANAGE Projects
- Create manage work orders
- Real-time project reporting
- COLLECT Maintain Facility Information
- Condition
- Functional Adequacy
- Inventory
- Renewal
- DEFINE Capital Projects Plans
- Annual and Long-term
- Renewal, Maintenance, Construction, etc.
- ANALYZE Facility Data
- Priorities
- Benchmarks
- Funding scenarios
6COLLECT Maintain Facility InformationAsset
Inventory and Condition Evaluation
- Compile facility data
- Include photographs and CAD drawings
- Create detailed descriptions of assessment
findings - Develop detailed cost estimates
- Estimate replacement values, deferred maintenance
and lifecycle costs - Industry standard data (e.g., R.S. Means)
- Classify data for decision support analysis
7COLLECT Maintain Facility InformationInclude

8COLLECT Maintain Facility InformationA
Centralized Repository of Asset Data
- Centralized asset database provides holistic view
of the portfolio - Common terminology and platform
- Data hierarchy based on organizational hierarchy
9COLLECT Maintain Facility InformationA
Centralized Repository of Asset Data
Common database prevents silos of information,
and allows the organization to use the same data
for both strategic and tactical requirements
10COLLECT Maintain Facility Information Building
System Data
- Plan the information you want to collect prior to
assessing sites - Consider all required assets - both vertical
utilities

27Facility Management Overview
- Aging Infrastructure
- Many buildings over 60 years old
- Facility condition varies across campuses
- No consistent documentation/updates
- Past assessments were focused
- No overall view into all infrastructure
- No analysis tools to understand data or
proactively plan where investments should be
made. - Lacked fully integrated plan
- Capital and associated operating plans were not
fully integrated - Difficult to prioritize and develop long-term
plan - Master Plan Development no quantifiable data to
develop business plans/cases to renovate or
replace infrastructure.
28New Approach
- Comprehensive Facility Management Tools
- Facility Condition Assessment Tool (VFA)
- Detailed assessment of all infrastructure - 5
categories. - Quantifies investment required in each category
and provides Facility Condition Index. - Development of 10 year plan.
-
- Work Order Management System (TMA)
- Ongoing preventative maintenance of assets linked
to VFA/Capital Plan. - Allows for integration with labor/operating plan
management. - Space management tools
- Link assets to locations in space management
module. - As Built Documentation
- Essential link to VFA and TMA tools when
implementing capital development projects and
renovation projects.
29Benefits and Challenges
- Benefits
- Complete infrastructure picture and planning
- Good reporting functionality.
- Prioritization of investments - impact of
deferred maintenance. - Integrates well with other facility management
tools. - Master Planning

30The Future
- Standardized provincial Facility Condition
Assessment Tool - Facility Blue-Print
- Benchmark comparisons (FCI Indicator)
- Prioritization of investments within
organization/region - Operational benchmarks and planning linked to
Facility Condition Assessment tool - Systems integration one integrated platform
