The second part of the Healthcare Facilities Managegment Webcast Series is set for Sept. 25 at 1 pm. ET. The title of this free webcast is "The Affordable Care Act: Preparing your Facility for Value-Based Purchasing."

A key component of the Affordable Care Act, Value-Based Purchasing (VPB) was designed to transform Medicare from a passive payer of claims to an active purchaser of value — and in the process establish a pay-for-performance reimbursement program under the law. 

The role of facilities managers in supporting the transitions from volume to value and toward process innovation is critical. This webcast details ways in which managers can ensure that all buildings are operating at peak efficiency, from building automation; to fire, security, and life safety measures; to climate control systems; and more.

Attend this free webcast to learn:

• The importance of standardization, utilization, and outcomes for facilities participating in a VPB program

• How group purchasing organizations (GPOs) can reduce search effort for suitable suppliers and appropriate pricing

• How FMs can improve organizational performance under VPB through a variety of building systems and management strategies
