Fixed assets, such as buildings, infrastructure and equipment, are often a hospital’s largest ones. The inventory, condition and reliability of these assets, however, remains elusive for many hospital executives. Capital investment planning is based on limited info, leading to an often inefficient allocation of scarce capital resources. Will these assets live up to their expected performance?

It’s shaping up to be a steady-as-she-goes kind of year in U.S. building. June was a soft month for megaprojects overall, but estimates say that overall 2019 construction starts in the U.S. will stay fairly level with last year. In the meantime, some truly interesting trends are playing out in the nonresidential construction space. They reveal much not only about key industry drivers, but the world at large.

Matthias Ebinger, Enstoa’s Director of Digital Solutions, presented alongside Dennis Ford, Director of Central Division Facilities Operations at Atrium Health, and Nick Zauner, Director of Facilities Engineering at The Yale New Haven Health System, at ASHE to discuss how to leverage “owner-centric data” from construction to maintenance.
