Health Care Facilities

Health care facilities have become increasingly complex, meaning health care facilities managers must have a combination of skills, knowledge and ability in order to effectively lead a multi-disciplinary team that can identify, prioritize and resolve an ever-adapting list of issues.  

ASHE’s Health Care Facilities Core Competency Framework charts out key skills of health care facilities management, and offers education, resources and tools to help professionals fill knowledge gaps in each area. Becoming an expert in each of the eight core competencies — and having a comprehensive understanding of their impact on care delivery — will ensure you are current in your professional expertise and primed for advancement in the field. Most importantly, the framework helps facilities managers gain the understanding needed to ensure patients and health care providers have a safe, comfortable and cost-efficient environment.
