Throughout the pandemic, many organizations faced challenges in managing surge capacity, flexing and prioritizing spaces for COVID-19-positive patients and anticipating changes to minimize the spread of this airborne disease.
Now, a growing number of hospitals and health systems are investing in intelligent technology infrastructure, which uses wireless sensors to capture data and help leaders process it quickly to support decision-making in areas like:
- Recalibrating occupancy and space utilization.
- Measuring indoor air quality.
- Optimizing energy efficiency.

Here is what our experts had to say:
Current building automation systems typically operate in silos, making it difficult to quickly access facilities data across a hospital or health system.
Digital transformation of space allows for greater value of a hospital's physical assets.
Operational efficiencies can be created through a demand-driven service model.
Invest in the technological infrastructure to aggregate and trend data from multiple systems.
