Retrofits Improve Health of Systems and Patients Alike
Grady Health System (GHS) embraces its mission to provide high-quality, efficiently delivered health care to indigent, uninsured, and underinsured individuals in the greater Atlanta metropolitan area. However, aging facilities and “original” physical plant equipment and systems, combined with a limited capital budget, and declining reimbursements, were negatively impacting the environment of care. Finding this situation intolerable, GHS took action.
Following an extensive evaluation process involving three competing companies, GHS selected Johnson Controls (Milwaukee) as its performance contracting program partner. Johnson Controls, in conjunction with GHS, completed a comprehensive operational assessment, or audit.
