1 Highly challenged environment Navigating the maze of healthcare compliance requirements in healthcare facilities The world s population is both growing and aging. Healthcare costs are escalating. Workplace violence is on the rise. Energy availability and infection control continues to be a major concern. Growing IT needs Reduce safety issues Reliable & Secure Energy supply Financial performance & rising costs Corporate & environmental responsibility Meet Regulatory Compliance Competition for new patients 15 October 2014 Irina Lindquist Offer Manager, Healthcare Solutions, Schneider Electric IHEA Healthcare Facilities Management Conference, 2014 Building, operating, and maintaining hospitals that can handle all these challenges and more are complex tasks. Lack of Skilled people Reduce Waiting times Growing security issues Attract & retain medical staff Technological & organisational evolutions What if We Change Nothing? Ways to Move Forward Hospitals will need to find $1M / year, just to cover a 25% increase in energy costs. 1 If staffing is reduced to cover this cost, patient safety and satisfaction will be compromised. A natural disaster that knocks out power to the hospital, could cost an additional $1M. 2 Hospitals will continue to: be the primary origin of infant abductions. 3 lose nearly $4,000 per bed each year 4 due to equipment theft. incur over 876,000 lost workdays and $16M in lost wages due to workplace violence. 5 Nurse s will continue to waste 1 hour during each shift searching for equipment 6 and hospitals will misplace or lose up to 40% of their assets over time. 7 Hospitals will continue to spend up to $130,000 per hospitalization, depending on the type of hospitalassociated infection Do nothing. 2. Look for workarounds to multiple obstacles caused by traditional facilities design: Multiple networks from different vendors Too many systems to learn Complex troubleshooting Higher capital and operational expenditures Too much energy consumption 3. Implement an intelligent infrastructure design that improves patient care and the bottom line.

3 Compliance programs: The Process Monitor, detect, diagnose and identify energy savings opportunities 1. Identify Saving opportunities 2. Prioritise Building repairs 3. Execute Recommendations Compliance programs: The impacts Baseline What is the current state of your facility? Improvements Know what actions to take to produce energy savings and operational improvements Performance Keep your facility performing at an optimum level Operating cost Your needs By managing the information from building systems, facility managers and operators can. Identify, prioritize and act on cost savings opportunities Building owners and operators need to Drive efficiency in building operations, mitigate risk, and improve asset efficiency Understanding how to: Take advantage of your building data Find hidden costs and inefficiencies Optimize operational performance Reduce energy expenditures Create more environmentally friendly, high performance buildings Utility and maintenance Typically the largest cost components of a facility operations budget Cost Reduce Costs Cost of Facility Operations Utility Costs Probability Mitigate Risks Negative Event Efficiency Improve Asset Efficiency Maintenance Costs Time Impact Severity Time Facility Management: Trends Facility Management: Trends Critical facility management drivers that are impacting all industries O&M Environment Aging facilities and budget gaps forcing organisations to maintain with fewer resources Critical facility management drivers that are impacting all industries Risk Management Awareness & accountability of facility risks is both increasing and becoming more complex Labor Conditions FM organisations are finding increasingly difficult to hire, develop, and retain staff Emerging Technology Technology will impact how facility managers do their jobs and buildings operate Outsourcing Businesses choosing to turn over facilities management functions to contractors Sustainability Demand escalating for environmentally friendly high performance buildings 3

4 What You Need to Answer WHAT IS EVERYONE ELSE DOING? DO WE HAVE TO DO IT? The Value & Perception of compliance programs Definition Healthcare compliance programs do not typically generate revenue and the preventative value has many industry standards by which to measure each facility and the facility manager must do his or her best to take existing data and translate it into a language that the administration will understand, appreciate and value. WHO SAYS WE HAVE TO DO IT? METRICS (the science of data) + BEST PRACTICES (the art of experience) = The Craftsmanship of Effective Facility Management WHAT HAPPENS IF WE DON T DO IT? Healthcare Compliance Risk Based Incident Driven What do we hear from you? I want to Have more confidence when spending money for our operations Gain answers to enable fact-based decisions when investing in improvements Know improvements are highest priority and will produce measureable results Make real impact to energy, operational efficiency, comfort and the financial well being of our buildings What do we hear from you? We re looking for Monitoring based, continuous or ongoing commissioning Automated fault detection and diagnostics Help with certification Performance based utility incentives Better service and insight into how service resources should be allocated Energy and cost savings Our Perspective Top Reasons for Investment Cost reduction Compliance Energy price risk mitigation Sustainability Energy Big Data ISO50001 Shared Value Barriers to Investing Lack of time, resources, and/or knowledge Competing priorities Visibility of key energy metrics Identification and prioritisation of energy efficiency opportunities 4
