Navigant Research Report Shows Intelligent Building Solutions Make Hospital Facilities More Efficient, Productive, and Sustainable

Hospitals should integrate business planning and technology
strategies to capture the value of solutions while leveraging available
data for competitive advantages

BOULDER, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#BigData–A new report from Navigant
Research examines the pressures healthcare organizations face, and
how the adoption of intelligent building solutions can increase
efficiencies and patient satisfaction.

Demands for improved economic performance are pushing healthcare
organizations to look for new ways to create profit and reduce costs
while also increasing the quality of patient care. Intelligent building
solutions can help accomplish these goals through the use of connected
devices, intelligent analytics, and enterprise platforms. Click
to tweet: According to a new report from @NavigantRSRCH,
integrating disparate systems with intelligent building solutions can
make hospital facilities more efficient, productive, and sustainable.

“Integration in hospitals refers to the integration of various systems,
such as building automation systems, real-time location systems (RTLSs),
nurse call, and admission, discharge, and transfer (ADT) systems,” says
Christina Jung, research analyst with Navigant Research. “When these
systems communicate, hospitals can both reduce operating costs and
deliver better patient care.”

Navigant Research recommends that hospitals integrate business planning
and technology strategies to capture the value of their intelligent
building solutions, while also leveraging available data to gain
competitive advantages against emerging players in other industries.
Meanwhile, according to the report, vendors should promote the
advantages of intelligent building solutions beyond energy and
operational efficiency, such as enhanced occupant comfort, improved
space utilization, and more.

The report, Intelligent
Building Solutions Bring Competition, Profitability, and Benefits to the
Healthcare Industry, examines the opportunities presented by a
more value-based, efficient practice of medicine. The study looks at the
pressures healthcare organizations face and the subsequent adoption of
intelligent building solutions. It also discusses how these solutions
will increase energy efficiency and patient satisfaction by integrating
building and clinical systems. Recommendations are provided on how to
communicate the advantages of intelligent building solutions and how
best to benefit from these solutions. An Executive Summary of the report
is available for free download on the Navigant
Research website.
