Trane, a leading global supplier of indoor comfort systems and facility management solutions, introduced to facility engineers at the American Society of Healthcare Engineers (ASHE) annual conference, the first ever “Critical Hospital Systems Dashboard”.

According to the company’s press release, the dashboard, which will save time and money on Joint Commission environment of care documentation and reporting, allows hospital staff to continuously view, monitor, track, trend and report environmental conditions in all critical areas from a single location. This dashboard is customizable based upon hospital requirements, reporting and tracking needs, and runs on a Tracer Summit Building Automation system. The dashboard provides information hospital administrators and engineers need to help guide decisions on improvements and investments in their environment systems. And provides, in measurable detail, how different systems are operating in critical environments. For example, if relative humidity levels in the surgical suite are continuously off balance, patient outcomes may be sacrificed, surgeons may not be able to work effectively, and there may be a case for a capital investment in humidity control systems.

Trane has been a partner to hospitals for over 40 years, providing a range of systems, services and solutions to optimize healing environments, improve patient outcomes, increase comfort levels of staff and patients, and optimize facility investment. Nearly half of all healthcare facilities in North America rely upon Trane systems for their comfort needs.
