Managing and maintaining healthcare infrastructure at the federal level requires precision, foresight, and robust data. That's why the Office of Construction & Facilities Management (CFM) invests in independent Facility Condition Assessments (FCA) to evaluate the physical and technical health of Medical Centers.

How Facility Condition Assessments Help Future-Proof Medical Centers

Let's explore what this type of assessment entails—and how capital planning software streamlines the process from inspection to action.

Why FCAs Matter in Federal Healthcare Facilities

A Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) is a comprehensive, independent evaluation that examines the technical and physical condition of each facility. This includes visual inspections, interviews with facility staff, site tours, and detailed research to inform capital planning priorities.

The end goal? A clear and data-backed FCA report that outlines:

• Existing deficiencies
• Prioritized corrective actions
• Cost estimates
• Forecasted timelines

For government agencies, this insight directly supports budget planning, compliance with federal standards, and the delivery of uninterrupted, high-quality care.

Key Challenges

Handling large-scale assessments—especially those spanning millions of square feet—introduces complexity:

• Multiple sites and stakeholders
• Hundreds of unique assets and systems
• Strict guidelines for data accuracy
• Coordination between engineering, architecture, and facility management teams

To make these assessments actionable, teams need reliable software that centralizes information and aligns stakeholders.

From Assessment to Action: How Intellis Supports FCA Projects

The Foundation Condition Assessment System by Intellis is purpose-built for large-scale FCA initiatives in government and healthcare. It's designed to empower teams conducting assessments by:

• Standardizing inspection data across diverse building types
• Aggregating and visualizing FCA findings in real-time
• Recommending corrective actions based on configurable rules
• Connecting capital planning to timelines and budgets
• Facilitating collaboration between A/E firms, engineers, and facility teams

Our system provides a centralized hub where all project data lives—so nothing gets lost in translation, and the output exceeds compliance requirements.

The Future of Facility Condition Assessments Is Digital

As public sector infrastructure ages and the demand for efficient capital planning increases, the agencies that succeed will be those who digitize and automate their FCA processes.

Whether you're preparing or managing a portfolio of facilities, Intellis helps you deliver better outcomes with less manual effort.
