Name
Engineering and Facilities Track: Healthcare Facilities Benchmarking
Date & Time
Tuesday, February 19, 2019, 9:45 AM - 10:45 AM
Description

Benchmarking has become a common component of most comprehensive facility quality improvement plans.  When voluntary and active partnership between all stakeholders is included in the benchmarking process, it becomes a proactive and beneficial approach to capital planning.  Breaking down the silos among different participants in the process is key.  Such collaboration helps ensure transparency at every level, provides facts and statistics to support key decisions, and results in improved outcomes.  This panel of three facilities managers will delve into the ways benchmarking is giving their organizations increased performance visibility, reducing operating expenses, and improving energy management and sustainability.  Discussion will also include how to identify facility cost drivers and how to reduce OPEX without impacting patient safety, HCAHPS scores or facility life.

Learning Objectives:


1. Discuss the hallmarks of successful benchmarking in healthcare facilities management.
2. Identify best practices for assessing strengths and weaknesses via benchmarking against other facilities.
3. Specify the ways that benchmarking can help you make your case for capital investment and resource allocation.
4. Define methods of identifying facility cost drivers and reducing expenses while maintaining successful outcomes.
