FM in Healthcare
Facility Management in Healthcare: highly complex and highly stimulating.
Our research focal point “FM in Healthcare” focuses on stakeholder-centric management of non-medical support services in healthcare organisations.
Depending on the setting, we take part as a partner in a research project, as advisors in a service contract or we include students within student projects. Our procedures are holistic, interlinked and systematic with the goal to develop practice-oriented and applicable solutions.
