Grady Health System
GRADY HEALTH SYSTEM (GEORGIA)

$11.5 Million Saved

BSC has worked with Grady since 1999 to cut facilities and equipment costs without sacrificing services. Ninety-two percent of the savings came from training programs that develop staff skills. Staff members now perform operational tasks that service vendors had historically provided at a much higher cost.
Cost-Effective Construction/Renovation Possible Thanks to Skilled In-House Staff

BSC formed an in-house construction group. Example projects:

  • Remodeling the cafeteria and a Geriatric Center

  • Relocating departments to renovated areas to make room for a new Cancer Center.
Facilities Operations' Statistics Match National Standards

  • Achieved a $2.01 maintenance-per-square-foot-cost. This aligns Grady with the most successful Level One Trauma/ Teaching Hospitals in lowering facilities costs, according to a national benchmarking survey.

  • Reduced routine work-order completion time to 1.19 days, a 55% improvement in one year.
JCAHO Compliance Programs Enhance Community Satisfaction

  • Reduced Type 1 violations from four to zero in 18 months.


Grady is an urban public hospital primarily serving the indigent.
