Survey: Health Care Facility Power Systems Unequipped For Digital Age
More than half of hospitals’ power systems were built before benefits and demands of IoT were known, according to a new survey from Schneider Electric.
According to a new study commissioned by Schneider Electric, health care facilities are missing out on opportunities to reduce energy use and costs, avoid outages and improve patient satisfaction because their power distribution and management systems are not equipped to take advantage of the internet of things (IoT) and other advanced technologies. The survey of 150 health care executives and facility managers underscores the importance of reliable power distribution and management in health care facilities and highlights the opportunity to integrate IoT-enabled power solutions to better meet health facility objectives.
