6 September - 2021Alex D'souzaManaging Editoreditor@healthcarebusinessreview.comThe COVID-19 pandemic has been a gamechanger for businesses across industries. Not only did it bring about disruptions of colossal proportions, but it has also forced organizations to adopt various new technologies, strategies, and measures. One of the major sectors that has been adversely affected due to COVID is the facility management (FM) space. The rising number of patients has led to an increase in the number of diagnostics and treatments for COVID-19. This has resulted in the production of huge amounts of medical waste, driving increased demand for better healthcare facilities management.Despite the release of vaccines early this year, social distancing norms need to be strictly adhered to. Facility managers need to keep these regulations in mind while laying out plans to bolster the safety of the patients and healthcare workers and ensure that the occupancy rates are within the limit.To meet the rising challenges, facility managers are relying on competent service providers for newer and more promising ways of streamlining and enhancing facility operations. Leveraging sensor technology and analytics, facility managers can take control of various functions, such as asset tagging, lighting, HVAC, fire suppression, security, inventory management, and equipment monitoring. In addition, the sheer amount of data facility managers can collect from sensors alone is enough to make maintenance more predictive, which can reduce the wastage of time and resources and maximize asset life.With the Internet of Things (IoT) in their arsenal, facility managers can ensure optimal working conditions for healthcare employees and patients. The use of IoT in facilities management is likely to continue and evolve as more and more medical facilities add telehealth to their services. Besides, tech-savvy facility managers are keen on adopting a mobile-first approach with user-friendly platforms that provide complete control of facilities at their fingertips.In this edition of Healthcare Business Review, we bring you the story of some of the most successful facilities management service providers.
