As devices become more connected and building systems more advanced, the healthcare facility manager's role will evolve, according to an article on the FacilityCare website.
As baby boomers leaves the industry, there is strong potential for a knowledge gap to develop, which puts facilities at a disadvantage.
The risk creates an opportunity for change, however. The next generation will have the opportunity to implement a new approach as building systems increasingly incorporate digital technology.
New technology means healthcare facility managers are better equipped to monitor energy consumption, improve occupant comfort and control overall maintenance costs.
