What if Healthcare Infrastructure were treated like a patient in the Emergency Department? | Sponsored Webinar

Every healthcare facility is a vibrant living organism—an intricate, highly specialized system whose survival depends upon the continuous function of countless interconnected organs and physiological processes. Much like the human body, a healthcare facility possesses a unique personality, chronological age, relative life expectancy, metabolic demands, and varying degrees of health and resilience to remain in stable condition. As an organism, the facility consumes energy and water as nutrients, produces waste as metabolic byproducts, responds to environmental stressors, and can suffer from both acute and chronic disease processes.

This presentation introduces a clinical approach to facility diagnostics by applying methodologies commonly used in Emergency and Internal Medicine. Participants will learn how to perform an Annual Physical and Wellness Check" on a building, establishing baseline vital signs, identify abnormal clinical presentations, and utilize differential diagnosis techniques such as Facilities Conditions Assessments to investigate interconnected causes. Through real-world case studies, attendees will explore how symptoms can be systematically evaluated through a review of systems, diagnostic testing, trend analysis, and infrastructure "physical examinations" to distinguish between benign conditions and life-threatening failures, leading up to the key OSHA Diagnosis "Sick Building" or "Building Related Illness".
