The Plant Hospitals Maintenance Department maintains the physical environment and provides related services to support medical centers is in reaching their goal of excellence in the delivery of healthcare and public service. Thus, health-care facilities exist to save lives, improve patient health, and reduce pain. Administrators rightly do not consider themselves to be power reliability experts. Yet without emergency power to ensure continuous power to medical equipment, the health-care facility´s life-saving mission can be jeopardized, costs can soar, and the profitability of the facility, on which its continued existence depends, can be threatened. With hospitals becoming more electronic, more must be protected by emergency power. Hospital systems increasingly overlap electronically. Well-designed emergency power systems adapt to the changing environment. Emergency power is thus critical and is expensive but if medical center does not have electricity, that´s even more expensive. We should think of everything electronic a hospital runs on: security, radiology, cat scans, and operating rooms. And, that´s just the big stuff.
