CASE STUDY: Asset Zoning for healthcare facilities
$1.3bn saving potential: Reducing operational costs and improving healthcare outcomes
With one study showing nurses spending up to 42 minutes per eight-hour shift resolving operational failures such as missing medications and broken or missing equipment, there is a great opportunity to improve efficiencies and increase time spent with patients using the Asset Zoning Solution from Microshare.
The challenge
Locating mobile equipment is a significant factor in the daily operational costs of hospitals and other healthcare facilities. One study estimates that nurses can spend up to 42 minutes per eight-hour shift dealing with operational issues, including locating missing equipment.
Improved Risk Management: Reducing the epidemiological risk using contact tracing data

By Bertrand Maury and Sylvain Faure of Université Paris-Saclay, in conjunction with Microshare
Executive summary: It’s all a matter of scale
Epidemiological risk management at a national level is a question of regulatory arbitrage, in a context which is both highly uncertain and constrained. The large-scale rollout of contact tracing apps on personal smartphones cannot reach the required critical mass of regular users necessary to generate reliable data. Contamination chains are therefore impossible to identify on a large scale, and available data is essentially of the macroscopic type. As a consequence, political stakeholders […]
Clean Break: Using data to adapt commercial cleaning services for the new reality

By Thomas Jackson and Michael Moran
Executive Summary
Commercial cleaning contractors face unprecedented demands for new standards, revised methods and a more visible presence in the delivery of their services to commercial real estate, manufacturing and other large facilities. COVID-19’s precise characteristics continue to be debated and may yet evolve further, but the economic distress caused globally by pandemic-related lockdowns have supercharged the appetite among building owners, corporate clients and public sector landlords for deeper, more thorough cleaning of facilities both to stem the risk of viral spread and to reassure people that the buildings in which they […]
Data privacy and COVID-19: What will stay and what will go?
By Michael Moran and Tim Panagos
Data privacy seems vulnerable to episodic spasms driven by unforeseen events. With each new sensation, governments, corporations and average people react in ways that change the game, and the debate, over what is and what is not acceptable. The role and responsibilities of government regulators, technology firms, legislators, corporate security and IT departments, and individual people continue to evolve with each new blow – and not always in a direction that data privacy advocates deem helpful.
Remember the impact of early WikiLeaks releases, revelations of widespread eavesdropping by the US National Security Agency (NSA) on American citizens and the furor created […]
C3A Video: COVID Cleaning Capacity Assessment
Tom Jackson, Microshare COO and Strategy Director, outlines Microshare’s COVID Cleaning Capacity Assessment tool (C3A), a powerful way to employ data to recalibrating commercial cleaning processes for the “Return-to-Work” moment.
