Introduction to property management.

Abstract

This document provides an overview of professional real estate management techniques that can be applied to the operations of a health care organization's ancillary outpatient facilities, including medical office buildings. These techniques consolidate and focus real estate operations into a cohesive management structure, permitting the organization to identify areas of cost savings and cost control, identify opportunities for revenue enhancement and providing a higher level of service to physicians and other tenants. The concepts, principles, and techniques presented here can be applied to small, stand-alone hospitals, hospitals that are merging, as well as large multihospital organizations and integrated systems.
