Welcome! In this video, Michele Mucia, Nuvolo’s Senior Director of Healthcare Solutions, draws on two decades of experience working with facility directors to tackle a challenge many facilities managers face: securing capital investment from healthcare leadership.
Michele explores why it’s often difficult to make the case for facility upgrades, and how leveraging data from Facility Condition Assessments (FCA) and Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) can help facility managers build compelling, data-driven business cases. She shares practical insights on using these tools to align with leadership priorities, justify investments, and, ultimately, drive better outcomes for patients. Let’s dive in!
Key Takeaways: What to Communicate When Presenting FCA Results to Leadership
Michele emphasizes the importance of being prepared to answer these critical questions when sharing Facility Condition Assessment results with healthcare leadership:
- Historical Investment: What have we already invested in this asset—including past CMMS parts, labor, and FTE costs?
- Replacement & Downtime Impact: What will it cost to replace the asset, and how much labor and downtime has it required to date?
- Future Space Needs: What are the long-term space utilization requirements we should consider?
- Patient Outcomes: Will this aging equipment continue to deliver the patient outcomes we expect for this space?
- Safety Compliance: Does this asset meet current safety benchmarks?
- Sustainability Goals: Is the equipment aligned with our sustainability benchmarks?
- Patient-Centered Investment: Will this investment directly support and enhance patient care?
By addressing these questions, facility managers can present a clear, data-driven case that resonates with leadership priorities and supports strategic decision-making.
