Health Care Maintenance and Operations: The Facilities Management Handbook
Successful facilities managers are embracing a proactive approach to maintenance and operations (M&O) — called health care asset management (HCAM) — that utilizes predictive risk assessment and reliability-centered tactics to get ahead of critical M&O issues before they cause crippling and costly problems. Health Care Maintenance and Operations: The Facilities Management Handbook teaches how to use HCAM to avoid reactionary firefighting, rein in the unwieldly job of health care M&O, and institute a methodical, data-powered and technology-driven M&O strategy that ensures facilities stay compliant, optimized and delivering high-quality care 24/7. The book provides new and long-time facilities managers an essential primer on core M&O work and goals that are unique to the health care physical environment.
