Not all of today’s high-performance healthcare designs end up living up to their promised performance because few facility operators hold the design and construction team accountable for the operating results, according to an article on the FacilityCare website.
Suggestions for getting peak performance include:
• Keep contracts specific. Your expectations of interface are likely vastly different from the designers.
•Plan for predictive maintenance. Planning for it in the early stages of construction can help save time and money over the long run.
