New studies suggest that 87% of the overall cost of a healthcare facility is spent after healthcare owners begin operating the new facility. Many health care facility owner/operators are scrambling to get control of rising maintenance cost that make up a substantial portion of their operating budget.
Smaller facilities are often faced with the difficulty of having little or no onsite staff and multiple locations across the region or country.
The three biggest challenges in healthcare facility management are:
- Finding consistently reliable vendors who meet their company's requirements.
- Efficiently addressing service request and preventative maintenance.
- Making informed decisions and ensuring costs are appropriate for repairs.
Industry analysts think the solution to these woes lies in a new approach to vendor relationships. New companies like All Pro Commercial Services use technology and industry insight to offer a value focused approach to 3rd party maintenance. "We utilize our simple online portal and vendor management systems to give our customers a more cost effective, more efficient, version of an on site facility engineer." says Jeff France, maintenance director at All Pro.
The medical industry is experiencing a continuing wave of consolidation and smarter, more innovative solutions like those offered by All Pro Commercial Services may be the key to managing your facilities maintenance challenges as your company grows.
