Three healthcare facilities faced a hurdle in managing a common issue — ensuring reliable critical power with a tight budget. To do this, each facility had a very different solution, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.
Two retrofitted their critical power management system and the third built it from scratch.
Their respective approaches offer food for thought for facilities managers facing the need to build or modernize their critical power management systems, the article said.
Prentice Women's Hospital, Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center and Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, and the Bryan Medical Center East Campus show that power reliability for healthcare facilities can take many shapes. In all cases, the enhancements helped save money, increased power reliability and improved patient safety.
