The face of healthcare facilities has shifted massively in the 21st century, with even greater changes happening in recent years. Major trends are transforming how healthcare organizations deliver patient care and manage facilities. As the healthcare industry shifts toward value-based population health, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) continue to accelerate, creating mega-sized, nontraditional health systems. Meanwhile, the industry continues to grapple with rigid compliance regulations and increasing costs.

Providing students with a learning environment that enables them to maximize their potential is at the heart of what you do. However, the challenges for higher education facilities are mounting.

So, what can facilities leaders do?
