Private Healthcare has always had an eye on the financial bottom line, generally through close management of staff hours per patient day. These days with decreasing budgets and increased service demand, CEO΄s in the Public Healthcare System are faced with similar requirements of meeting budget targets. In the Aged Care sector with tight margins and aggressive competition meeting budget is critical to survival. This paper addresses an overlooked area by most healthcare providers, which assists in reducing both the current year outgoings and the long-term return. While you would be hard pressed to consider the maintenance department as a revenue centre, when viewed from another perspective with appropriate use of an efficient CMMS properly structured and supported the maintenance department can be considered to be an additional source of revenue by: Early appropriate intervention (preventative maintenance) reducing the risk of early retirement of expensive and often complex machinery Detailed tracking of expenses related to locations, equipment and cost centres The ability to triage (sort) appropriate requests from inappropriate requests Accurate reporting on cost per sq meter Improved productivity from internal and contract maintenance staff The ability to monitor contractor KPI΄s and enforce contract compliance In this paper, we will address how healthcare market sectors can benefit from the maintenance professional by reducing the bottom line and increasing revenue benefit.
