FSI Services has partnered with health care management professional, Theodore Pappas, to help health care systems re-evaluate their space management approach from a cost-savings and software perspective.
“Space is the largest, most valuable asset within a healthcare organization,” said Pappas, healthcare facility information specialist, of FSI. “All departments are impacted, from design and construction, finance, compliance and safety, real estate, and property management. Within those teams, I see space managed at a very basic level within hospitals. What they need is the right tools to make educated, cost-effective decisions before jumping to – let’s build, expand, buy.”
In the past, hospitals relied on a physical pen and paper process – large scale paper plots in tubes, binders, disks with files. The industry has since evolved, with several cloud-based solutions that allow technicians to access information on their phone, tablet, or computer, regardless of their location.
“Ted’s experience was exactly what we needed to elevate our space management product – CMS Space Manager – in the market,” explained Chris Lang, director of strategic business development at FSI. “We’re hearing more from customers and at industry events that hospital staff are expected to do more with less. Taking advantage of a comprehensive tool that reduces manuals tasks and saves money is how teams solve for this expectation.”
With Space Manager, benefits include:
- Reduce overspend on materials: Users can import polylined CAD drawings and instantly calculate square footage to help accurately estimate remodeling costs
- 100% regulatory reimbursement: Easily maintain accurate rooms, floors, and utilization square footage calculations to ensure 100% Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement.
- Eliminate manual square footage calculations: With a few mouse clicks, calculate sq. ft.
- Maintain a centralized database with every building’s CAD drawings in one place.
Launched in 2002, FSI was created by and for healthcare service professionals and engineers, offering a purpose-built CMMS specifically for healthcare-managed operations. FSI’s 1,000 plus hospital segments rely on a full suite of services and software that empowers their teams to use data to make smart decisions: including on-site data collection, barcoding, and CAD services.
