Douglas Robinson+FollowWhy Facilities Managers Need Finance SkillsEver think about who keeps hospitals running smoothly? Facilities managers are the unsung heroes, but to really shine, they need to speak the language of finance! Learning how budgets work, understanding financial terms, and building relationships with the finance team means they can advocate for better equipment, smarter upgrades, and safer spaces for everyone. The more they know about money, the more they can do for patients and staff. ASHE even has a whole handbook to help them level up! #HealthcareFinance #FacilitiesManagement #HospitalLife #Teamwork #Budgeting #Health30Share
Terry Brown+FollowWho Can Inspect Hospital Dampers?Did you know hospitals don’t always need to hire outside pros for fire and smoke damper inspections? As long as staff are properly trained and qualified, they can handle it in-house! Some states want only ISO-certified inspectors, but that’s not always practical—especially for rural hospitals. The list of approved certifiers is growing, though, so check ANSI’s site for updates. Just remember: working above hospital ceilings is tricky, and special health care certifications are a big plus! #HospitalSafety #FireSafety #Healthcare #FacilitiesManagement #Inspections #Health00Share
