title: An integrated approach to infrastructure.
abstract: In an edited version of a paper presented at the IHEA (Institute of Hospital Engineering Australia) 60th National Conference 2009, Stewart Hayes, principal consultant at Jakeman Business Solutions, argues that, with "traditional" means of purchasing and maintaining critical hospital infrastructure systems "becoming less viable", a more integrated, strategic approach to procuring and providing essential hospital services that looks not just to the present, but equally to the facility's anticipated future needs, is becoming ever more important.
