Description
As health care services expand, the infrastructure is taxed and too often the emergency power system is overstrained. In this case study presentation, we'll discuss how Winchester Medical Center in Winchester, Va., was able to find the right solution for its health care emergency power needs. This session will enable you to-
• Discuss, based on the case study presented, how to evaluate a facility's infrastructure capacities to determine what must be done to ensure its emergency power system is fully operational and will be able to meet the health care needs of patients when required.
• Develop a process, based on lessons presented in the case study, that will enable a facility to update its existing power infrastructure without disrupting patient care services.
• Discuss, using a review of case studies presented, methods that can be applied to update existing areas in a health care facility to better meet the needs of patients and health care providers.
• List three innovative strategies, as demonstrated in case studies, for adapting the principles presented to other projects and scenarios.
