Is aging infrastructure healthcare’s hidden crisis?

With more than half of U.S. hospital facilities over 50 years old and $390 billion in deferred maintenance nationwide, aging infrastructure poses a serious threat to your healthcare mission.

In today's challenging healthcare landscape, where rising costs meet shrinking reimbursements, infrastructure renewal often takes a backseat to revenue-generating priorities. Yet with more than half of U.S. hospital facilities over 50 years old and $390 billion in deferred maintenance nationwide, aging infrastructure poses a serious threat to your healthcare mission. When 80% of healthcare facilities managers identify aging infrastructure as their primary concern—but nearly 80% receive less than half their requested maintenance funding—the need for capital-smart solutions has never been more urgent.

Access this comprehensive guide to discover four innovative approaches that help healthcare leaders optimize infrastructure funding while reducing operational expenses, including:
 

• Reduce energy consumption through strategic assessments and equipment optimization—energy costs consume 1% to 3% of operating budgets and represent 15% or more of profits, with bills increasing 29% over the past five years

• Maximize energy procurement savings by leveraging deregulated markets, negotiating better rates, and incorporating renewable energy solutions like solar installations and geothermal power to generate significant savings while improving grid resilience

• Explore utility rebates and incentives available through utility companies, electric cooperatives, and government programs for energy-efficient equipment upgrades, lighting control systems, HVAC improvements, and ENERGY STAR equipment

• Consider infrastructure renewal partnerships that transform your infrastructure into a service through long-term agreements, removing the capital burden while ensuring your central plant meets regulatory and patient care standards

This guide reveals how one health system partnered with JLL to save $10 million over a decade through strategic energy sourcing and building equipment optimization. Learn how to create solid business cases that demonstrate not only the investment required but also the cost and risk of inaction.
