Effective management of the rooftop space of hospital and clinic buildings is frequently overlooked, according to an article on the Tech Financials website.
A lack of rooftop management can result in a loss of revenue.
Rooftops house a variety of telecommunications infrastructure to provide communication for hospital patients, staff, IT equipment, visitors as well as surrounding areas. Without an asset register, it is almost impossible to track the abundance of equipment from a variety of tenants.
Without control, equipment can be installed on the rooftop without the knowledge of the healthcare facility. This leads to the challenge of general access to this equipment as management are not aware of what equipment resides on the rooftop but more importantly, who is allowed access to this equipment.
