The American Society for Health Care Engineering has opened registration for the inaugural Health Care Facilities Innovation Conference, which will take place July 21-24 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California.
The conference is an evolution of the ASHE Annual Conference & Technical Exhibition. The conference’s new identity, which was announced in August 2023 at the 60th ASHE Annual Conference, reflects ASHE’s commitment to equipping its members to meet the opportunities and challenges presented by the rapidly changing healthcare field.
The conference is geared toward an array of healthcare physical environmental professionals, including facilities managers, hospital and system executive leadership, construction managers, infection preventionists, safety professionals and technicians at all career stages.
Sessions include an introduction to using facility condition assessments to communicate facilities priorities to hospital executive leadership; case studies on hospitals tackling decarbonization, future-proofing capital projects and introducing automation to infection control risk assessments; a roundup of changes to National Fire Protection Association codes and their impact on other aspects of the regulatory environment; and a deep dive on the challenges and risks of lithium-ion batteries in healthcare settings.
Tailored conference tracks at four knowledge levels align with different career stages, from foundational to strategic, empowering attendees to choose a personalized conference experience, while earning continuing education credits toward Certified Health Care Facility Manager and other industry-standard certifications.
The event’s technical exhibition features dynamic, interactive demonstrations from premier vendors and business partners servicing the areas of fire protection; heating, ventilating and air conditioning; power and electrical equipment; healthcare lighting, furnishings and flooring; building automation; safety and security and many others.
