Hospital / Clinic
Deliver superior care – efficiently, cost-effectively and sustainably.
Hospitals and clinics that work deliver quality patient outcomes. That requires outstanding doctors and nurses, to be sure. But it also requires facilities and IT infrastructure that work non-stop, because there can be no downtime in healthcare delivery. Beyond functioning well and continuously, hospitals and clinics must offer environments that improve the patient experience and satisfaction while enhancing patient care – all in a sustainable manner. Healthcare facilities must do all this at a time when reimbursements are declining. Yet, it can be done. For example, Johnson Controls worked with the not-for-profit Parrish Healthcare Center at Port St. John in North Brevard County, Florida to create an outpatient facility so efficient and sustainable that it became the first healthcare outpatient building in Florida to earn Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification. We helped create a central utility plant for Phoenix Children’s Hospital using an enhanced, alternative design. This is expected to save them more money than a traditional, conventional design while keeping the hospital running reliably and meeting its sustainability goals. We also implemented a wireless infrastructure for the Baptist Memorial Health Care System in Memphis, Tennessee that enables its medical staff to record and retrieve information, and monitor and administer care when and where it’s needed.
Johnson Controls can do the same for you. Here’s how.
We work with all your stakeholders to develop projects that meet your goals and objectives. Johnson Controls can be your single point of responsibility for all aspects of the implementation, coordinating with all the needed individuals and organizations to bring your project in on time and within budget. We offer a host of cost,- and energy-saving technologies, such as lighting and HVAC systems, all controlled and optimized by our Metasys® building management system for maximum efficiency, comfort, and safety. We design and build central utility plants that save money and energy while keeping your facility up and running. To meet your sustainability goals, Johnson Controls offers water and energy conservation measures including renewable energy options such as solar and geothermal power.
Johnson Controls can help you identify ways to fund the improvements or protect your capital. For example, performance contracting is a way to fund improvements by allowing the energy and operational savings to offset the project costs. Central utility plants can be owned by a third party, allowing a hospital to purchase only the outputs of chilled and hot water instead of paying for the costs of construction, ownership and maintenance of the plant.
As a technology integrator, Johnson Controls can help you create a well-designed IT infrastructure to support the proliferation of high-technology medical devices, the conversion to electronic record keeping, and the ability to monitor and administer care anytime, anywhere.
