Course Summary
For a healthcare organisation to work optimally, it is vital to offer regular maintenance of any facilities. Healthcare facilities are essential to the general functions of the building, ensuring accessibility to all patients and for healthcare professionals to carry out their duties without fear. If healthcare facilities were to fall into disarray, they would be incapable of functioning as expected, and healthcare providers would be unable to submit or receive any diagnostic tests to aid in their patient care.
One vital aspect of facilities management is risk management. All facilities within a healthcare organisation must comply with all legal regulations and standards that promote safe use practices. Furthermore, risk assessments must be conducted to identify any potential and probable risks, analyse the data, and implement preventative and corrective measures.
To aid in the safety of facilities, those responsible should also manage their finances and daily operations. Monitoring these factors will highlight any excessive resource use that may contribute to a reduction in productivity. By ensuring regular maintenance, adequate finances, and safe working conditions, all facilities should be able to function at maximum productivity.
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the vitality of facilities management within a healthcare organisation.
