A facility’s infrastructure is a key component in supporting the mission of the healthcare organization. It is also critical in helping hospitals manage the mounting pressures of reinventing delivery of care, regulatory scrutiny, competition, attracting the best staff, and improving patient outcomes and experience.
There are four primary infrastructures in a hospital: Mechanical, Electrical, Information and Communications Technology and Security. Each division of infrastructure functions to bind the physical environment to clinical outcomes; to provide safe, comfortable and reliable environments for quality patient care; and to ensure the financial viability of the organization.
This webcast examines how properly designed and executed, the Integrated Healthcare Facilities Infrastructure will improve financial performance, improve patient and staff safety, simplify regulatory practices, and increase patient satisfaction, staff productivity and retention. The Integrated Healthcare Facilities Infrastructure approach is designed to utilize the intelligence inherent to facility infrastructure technologies, and implement them in a manner to make it simple for operators to realize optimal efficiencies from facilities now, and in the future.
3. Today's Presenters
As the Global Solution Architect for the Schneider Electric’s Healthcare segment, Christopher
Roberts is responsible for design, development, and support of intelligent healthcare
infrastructure solutions. He leads a team of technical experts, and works with external
partners to develop integrated architectures that have improved the environment of care and
the operating efficiency for healthcare facilities around the world. In addition, he designed and
built the Healthcare StruxureLab where all Healthcare solutions are tested, validated, and
documented.
Prior to his current role, Mr. Roberts worked as an onsite Schneider Electric project engineer
and manager. In his most recent assignment at Central Manchester University Hospital in
Manchester, UK, he oversaw the design and implementation of a 1600 bed intelligent
healthcare infrastructure solution, which included power management, building management,
fire detection, and a comprehensive security management system for Manchester’s new state-
of- the-art facilities.
Mr. Roberts currently sits on the board of Directors for the IFMA Health Care Institute and is
also involved in several organizations, including the American Society for Healthcare Engineers
(ASHE), the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), and the
Institution of Engineering and Technology (MIET).

47. Typically:
• Individual systems are bid and bundled
• Provide deduct for advanced integration based on savings,
if awarded all systems
• You’ve already missed the savings in your Power package for the Integrated Control Platform and
the efficiencies it can deliver
Contracting methodology?
How do I

How do I
know what I
want?
48. Instead, do this
• Bring Schneider Electric in as your Technology Integration Partner at the conceptual design phase
• Use the Division 25 Specification to define integration via Use Cases
• Procure your Power package to include the specific equipment and installation efficiencies designed
into Integrated Control Platform detailed by the Division 25 Specification
• Procure Fire package with BACnet option
• Procure ONE package with low voltage as one specification (BMS, security, CCTV, nurse call, lighting
control, power metering, networking)
Consider multi-year, multi-discipline maintenance agreement
• Evaluate true cost of ownership
• Bundled service agreements for multiple systems to gain cost savings
Cost plus / guaranteed maximum price
Contracting methodology?
49. • Dedicated Resources
• Continued investments in R&D
• EcoStruxure for Healthcare
• Single point of contact
