Comprehensive Facility Engineering
Comprehensive Facility Engineering (CFE) is our flagship program. CFE is a one-stop hospital facilities management service featuring predictive cost structures and management of your total facility spend. ABM Health provides a full service solution that delivers quality, consistency and a positive client experience. With one number to call and one provider to pay, CFE converts your major management burden to peace of mind. To achieve this under the constraints of a fixed budget, ABM Health employs sophisticated systems that coordinate resources, personnel, and communications.
Where practical, ABM Health staff members are trained to self-perform maintenance tasks, with the objective of replacing higher cost outside contractor services with more cost effective internal resources. This allows us to improve our productivity and provide services at a low fixed price agreement. To accomplish this ABM Health has developed a predictable cost service model that is based on the following key characteristics of what we call SmartSourcingSM:
- Assuming full responsibility for the entire facility management spend
- Transferring qualified hospital facilities staff to ABM Health
- Providing highly experienced on-site management and technical resources to complement existing transferred staff
- Developing mutually agreed upon and measurable Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s)
- Addressing deferred maintenance, extending the life of equipment and systems and reducing downtime by implementing preventive maintenance regimens
- Implementing award winning technology to support our on-site staff
- Establishing measurable service levels for sub-contractors
With guaranteed compliance to The Joint Commission, DNV and other accreditation agencies, ABM Health’s CFE stands apart from the competition. And with its strong emphasis on energy and sustainability, backed by award winning technology systems, KPI’s, and advanced maintenance concepts, CFE provides the first true alternative to in-house staffing and management of healthcare facilities.
