Global US Healthcare Environmental Services Market Dynamics
DRIVER: Growing emphasis on HCAHPS assessment to fuel demand for advanced healthcare environmental services
The Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey is a 27-question tool that assesses factors including hospital cleanliness. These scores are essential for hospitals as they directly influence reimbursement rates from government payers, including Medicare and Medicaid and private insurers. Hospitals with higher HCAHPS scores may receive higher payments under value-based purchasing programs to reward quality care. The environmental services (EVS) personnel are crucial in impacting a hospital’s HCAHPS scores. Additionally, as these scores are publicly reported, they can influence a hospital’s reputation and patient volume. As a result, more environmental service (EVS) providers are being contracted by healthcare facilities to enhance their HCAHPS scores.
RESTRAINT: Presence of in-house EVS departments to limit third-party outsourcing
In order to maintain high levels of hygiene standards and lower the cost of outsourcing environmental services, numerous healthcare facilities select the route of employing their own environmental services personnel. This method enables them to guarantee the appropriate infection control, as well as respecting the environmental safety regulations during the cleaning process of medical equipment, supplies and different parts of the building. There are also consultant firms who provide in-house Environmental Services (EVS) teams of health care institutions with the tools and services they need to sustain the best standards of cleanliness, health and operational efficiency.
OPPORTUNITY: Growth opportunities for EVS Technicians
Environmental services (EVS) staff protect patients, visitors, and staff from infectious pathogens by maintaining clean and sanitized healthcare environments. Post-pandemic, the EVS staff are considered essential contributors to patient safety and community well-being. This shift has created many opportunities for EVS staff, mainly by adopting advanced certifications such as Certified Health Care Environmental Services Professional (CHESP) and Certified Health Care Environmental Services Technician (CHEST).
CHALLENGES: Labor shortages and high turnover rates
The healthcare industry is grappling with a significant EVS (environmental services) worker shortage. Recruiting younger people and retaining them are becoming increasingly difficult to maintain. Also, existing EVS workers are being increasingly lured to other industries facing similar shortfalls. Barriers such as high work demands, interruptions, perceptions of low status or value, and a lack of communication are causing high turnover rates for EVS staff in the healthcare industry.
