Health care facility management embraces a multitude of disciplines and responsibilities. While indicators such as compliance, energy use, or cost per square foot for management and maintenance of a facility can demonstrate effective facility management, the true measure of excellence in health care facility management is the extent to which the physical environment fosters excellent health care. The presenters, who include the recipients of the 2010 Excellence in Heath Care Facility Management Award, will use case studies to share effective practices and insights on the role of facility management in providing safe and effective care. This session will enable you to:

* State the contributions that facility management makes to providing quality patient care and high levels of patient satisfaction.
* Identify best practices in facility management that can be implemented at your facility.
