Savings potential for hospitals & clinics

‍

But where are opportunities to reduce or even completely eliminate costs in the administration and management of healthcare facilities? The design, administration and processes for parking spaces have enormous potential not only to enable patients, visitors and employees to park easily and efficiently, but also to reduce costs and make the mixed use of parking spaces profitable and efficient through process automation and the resulting optimization. We have listed the biggest savings potential for you below:

‍

Abolish barrier systems

‍

The biggest cost factors include not only the purchase but also the maintenance of barrier systems. High maintenance costs due to defective barriers are eliminated by barrier-free parking space management. Parking ends are recorded when entering and exiting via a Number plate recognition via cameras, there is no need to stop in front of the barriers. Removing barriers not only saves costs, but also prevents repair costs, lost sales and dissatisfied visitors in the event of system failures.

Control personnel can take on value-adding tasks

‍

Do you have to staff your parking area to prevent incorrect parkers and, if necessary, to find them? Digitally managing your parking space also eliminates this cost factor and makes it easy to identify and track incorrect parkers without additional effort for hospital staff, who can concentrate on value-adding tasks. The digital parking space management system also makes it easier to manage mixed use. Whether patients, employees or visitors: automatic license plate recognition and the option to store flexible conditions depending on user groups simplify the management of user data via the Peter Park dashboard to make parking easy and pleasant for all users of the parking area.

‍

Paper costs

‍

It is often the inconspicuous things that cause costs and can be saved — this includes paper tickets, for example. With the digital and barrier-free parking solution, the parking time is determined and the parking process is ended by parking people entering their license plate number at the vending machine and making the payment either directly at the vending machine or with a partner app. However, omission of paper tickets not only means lower costs, but also avoids additional waste due to the absence of magnetic cards or paper IDs.

Optimize revenue streams for clinics & hospitals

‍

By digitizing parking spaces, the purchase and maintenance costs of barrier systems are eliminated and administrative costs and expenses are reduced. It is also possible to optimize revenue streams for hospitals and clinics by using tariff structures for various user groups.

Case study: Porz am Rhein Hospital

‍

The example of Porz am Rhein Hospital in Cologne shows the benefits of digitizing a complete parking infrastructure for a healthcare company. Taking over the independent management of parking areas and implementing the digital parking management system eliminates the maintenance and repair costs of the barrier system as well as manual control of parking violations by personnel. Flexibly bookable tickets are adapted to the needs of patients, employees and visitors. The barrier-free system was integrated as part of a hospital mobility campaign, which was supplemented by a subsidy of job tickets for public transport and funding of e-bikes for employees.

“As a modern, future-oriented healthcare company, in addition to cutting-edge medicine (...), we are also committed to sustainable mobility.” — Arist Hartjes, managing director of Porz am Rhein Hospital

Implementation of the parking space management system

Digital parking space management with Peter Park

‍

The Peter Park system is ideal for managing parking areas with different user groups, as is the case with healthcare facilities. The license plates of incoming and outgoing cars are recorded in accordance with the GDPR and the Peter Park dashboard manages the parking area down to the minute. Long-term parkers such as employees or even patients can be easily added or removed and incorrect parkers are quickly identified for follow-up. The option of contactless payment through partner apps such as Easypark helps to support hygiene concepts, especially for institutions such as hospitals and clinics.

success stories

‍

But not only that Porz am Rhein Hospital benefits financially from digitizing its parking space with the Peter Park System; barriers are also a thing of the past at other healthcare facilities in Germany and Austria. “The switch to the electronic system is modern, environmentally friendly and avoids time-consuming service and maintenance work on the barrier system,” says Klaudia Watzinger, commercial director of Landesklinikum-Scheibbs in Austria.

In the Arberland Clinic In Viechtach, Bavaria, the digital management of the parking area ensures that patients, employees and visitors are always provided with sufficient parking spaces. At the same time, CO2 emissions are reduced by eliminating the need for cars waiting at the barrier.

These were also decisive points for the modernization of the car park of Schrobenhausener Krankenhaus. Since the parking situation at the district hospital has repeatedly caused discussion in the past, it is not only easier to manage the small parking spaces, but the economic advantage of collecting parking fees is obvious: “We would like to invest the income in renewing parking spaces and promoting alternative means of transport and electric mobility. ,” says clinic managing director Holger Koch.

Conclusion:

‍

A digital parking management system offers healthcare facilities the opportunity to benefit from economic benefits: On the one hand, there are no high costs for the purchase, maintenance and repair of barrier systems. By digitizing the parking process and the associated process automation, healthcare facilities achieve savings that result from increasing the efficiency of their processes. This means that personnel registration to identify and track wrong parkers through the digital recording of license plates is no longer necessary; hospitals and clinics also save further by eliminating paper tickets. Revenue from parking fees can be invested to maintain parking areas or in investing in internal mobility concepts to make things even easier for employees. An additional advantage is the simple management of parking spaces with different needs, who can be offered flexible conditions. This allows patients and their visitors as well as employees to concentrate on the essentials on site and not waste unnecessary time searching for parking spaces or waiting in front of barriers.
