Three healthcare facilities faced a common issue — ensuring reliable critical power with a tight budget — and found unique solutions based on their particular situations, according to a web-exclusive story on the Healthcare Facilities Management magazine website.

According to the article, one wanted more sophisticated monitoring and control, automated testing and Joint Commission-acceptable report production. Another needed enhanced ability to continue following a “build-as-we-go” approach and to service equipment while it's “hot.” A third wanted faster yet less expensive connectivity for their electrical gear.

Each facility had a very different solution. Two retrofitted their critical power management system and the third built it from scratch. According to the article, each answer offers  a lesson for facilities managers who need to build or modernize their critical power management systems.
