Healthcare facilities management historically has been focused on mitigating the effects of critical issues – patching an aging pipe, repairing a downed elevator, conducting storm remediation and so on. The priority for managers and their front-line staffs was to correct the problems that arose rather than prevent them from happening in the first place. At the same time, many of the departments, teams and vendors who touched the built environment, such as construction, energy management and compliance, were disjointed and siloed.
