New York-Presbyterian Hospital, New York City, won the 2016 Excellence in Health Care Facility Management Award for its enterprisewide space and asset management system, according to an article on the Healthcare Facility Management website.
The hospital has saved approximately $3 million through the project and has seen a 30 percent decrease in the number of existing or potential physical environment deficiencies.
The facilities team at New York-Presbyterian created a system to improve the reliability of its environment of care, the patient experience and operational efficiencies.
The staff merged three disconnected management applications — space utilization, patient experience and regulatory asset management — into a single integrated system.
