Managing FM (support services): business risks in the healthcare sector
This paper presents research findings of 365 NHS Trust executives in the UK and builds on work carried out on risk perceptions and treatment in facilities management operations and business support activities in the NHS Trusts. The research utilises a business approach of viewing healthcare facilities not only as fixed “assets” occupying hospital sites and space, but it also considers them as that “tangible” part of the service chain process underpinning the provision of clinical services to both internal (departments or directorates) and external customers. The research found that customer satisfaction, service delivery certainty, customer involvement, service quality reliability, health and safety are highly rated by the NHS executives. The paper classifies healthcare related risk constructs into seven elements namely: customer care, corporate, legal, commercial finance and economics, business transfer, and facilities transmitted.
