Strategic real-estate planning can generate revenue.

Many healthcare organizations treat their real estate as liabilities rather than assets and overlook opportunities to generate significant additional revenue and reduce costs. An Ernst & Young Study found that to maximize the return on investment in their real-estate holdings, healthcare organizations need to include property management in their strategic plan, manage construction and expansion effectively, adapt and reuse their facilities where possible, and pursue innovative real-estate strategies. Managing real-estate assets effectively can free up capital to use for other core business needs.
