Help ensure critical healthcare projects are delivered on time

The highly technical and tight tolerance specifications of healthcare facilities—such as hospitals, research facilities, and medical centers—require strict coordination, visibility, and stringently managed processes. Access to the full project record supports the efficient maintenance and advancement of healthcare facilities.

Infection control risk assessment

Primavera Unifier uses the industry-standard infection control risk assessment (ICRA) process to identify the level of infection risk associated with a construction project and define plans and procedures to mitigate those risks. Automate the process of identifying any dust, noise, or other risk factors as soon as they breach defined tolerances so that real-time alerts are sent and remedies are taken. Sensors monitor air quality to trigger alerts and help prevent dust contamination related infections.

Interim life safety measures

Interim life safety measures are health and safety actions that are implemented in healthcare facilities during construction, renovation, and maintenance to protect patients and workers. Primavera Unifier can automate document compliance with required interim life safety measures, such as fire alarm or sprinkler system requirements in accordance with National Fire Protection Agency and Joint Commission standards.
