Technology in facilities management
The many processes, systems and strategies that facilities management needs to manage to keep any facility running efficiently and securely all share a common foundation of being heavily reliant on secured and stable information technologies. Of the many industries that must have a stable information systems and technology platform to succeed, healthcare organizations are the most dependent on effective use of information technologies, systems and platforms to ensure they stay in compliance to laws, regulations and codes (Blake, Massey, Bala, Cummings, Zotos, 2010). What emerges from this analysis is the finding that information and knowledge are the catalysts of any successful facility management strategy especially in healthcare (Lai, 1985). The intent of this analysis is to evaluate the role of technology in facilities management within healthcare organizations, looking at three real-world examples of how technology has augmented and strengthened the value chain of healthcare providers. Ethical and compliance considerations must be taken into account when integrating technology into facilities management plans and programs, in addition to multiple levels of security in this industry as well. These considerations are discussed in this analysis.
