Getting flex-ready after the pandemic
Creating a more secure , sustainable , and safer built environment for the healthcare industry
As hospital providers think about better ways to manage healthcare , a number of innovations should be considered in the way they operate their built environment .
That ’ s according to �aymond �ang , key accounts and digital solutions leader for Johnson Controls , an Irish conglomerate that supplies and implements fire , HVAC , and security equipment for buildings .
“ As we think about the transformation that happens in the built environment for healthcare facilities , we think about better patient experiences , smarter operation of facilities , and increased safety and security . That ’ s the lens Johnson Controls uses to impact and innovate in the built environment ,”
Kang told Medical Festival Asia , an online event coconceptualised by Global Health Asia-Pacific and Messe Düsseldorf Asia that took place last December .
In Kang ’ s view , healthcare providers need to stay at the forefront of innovation to deliver better patient experiences , holistic safety , and improved efficiency while optimally managing their buildings .
In this way , when clinics and hospitals are comfortably integrated and connected , the clinical outcomes are likely to improve , and healthcare providers will be better able to achieve their mission .
In times of crisis , like with the pandemic , they ’ ve been forced to substantially increase patient capacity , enhance communication , and maximise services .
