Meeting the critical challenge of safety
For healthcare establishments, safety is mission critical, day in, day out. Our first job is to prevent health risks, such as hospital-acquired infections, and to raise awareness of safety issues and inform and train teams. Safety is also at the core of our commitment to continuous improvement, from regulatory and environmental audits to management of technical risks.
Supporting establishments' changing needs
Due to the constant changes in healthcare establishments' infrastructure, needs and environment, it is crucial to offer flexible services based on an in-depth understanding of the sector's concerns. These include optimising building operating costs to meet budget requirements for medical activities and ensuring that facilities are consistently upgraded and comply with standards.
Spotlight:
Healthcare establishments outsource their non-medical activities for a number of basic reasons: they need to focus their resources and expertise on healthcare, they prefer to find specialised partners to handle highly technical missions like preventing health risks, and they want their cleaning, reception, food and other support services to be run cost effectively, with the best quality for the money.
Outsourcing may be done through public-private partnerships in which public authorities select a private company (often a consortium) to finance, build, maintain and operate infrastructure that serves the public interest.
In Italy, Dalkia subsidiary Siram won two public-private partnership contracts as a member of two consortiums to build and manage the Cona hospital in Ferrara and build and manage a new cogeneration plant at the Careggi hospital in Florence. Once construction is completed, Siram will operate the energy facilities for 15 years in Florence and 30 years in Ferrara.
