CBRE “Healthcare Shield” to Lower Healthcare Facilities Risks

CBRE, Dallas, launched Healthcare Shield, a suite of processes, technology, training and assessments designed to help healthcare clients achieve compliance standards.

Healthcare Shield identifies and addresses quality and safety issues, thereby achieving reduced downtime and enhancing patient experience and safety across managed facilities.

Healthcare Shield has four major components:

•    Employee evaluation and assessment tool

•    Specialized training and certifications

•    CBRE Compliance and risk management program

•    Benchmarking, analytics and reporting

Healthcare environments must be managed differently than other commercial buildings. Through Healthcare Shield, CBRE develops highly trained teams that support healthcare clients’ facility operations. Healthcare Shield is already being used by CBRE facilities management clients. 

Healthcare Shield will initially be available in the U.S., with a wider roll-out outside of the U.S. planned for 2022.

Tauro Capital Advisors Expands Advisory Services Platform
Tauro Capital Advisors, Los Angeles, expanded its advisory platform serving financial institutions and other capital providers.

“This expanded platform is Tauro’s first advisory offering catering to the needs of capital providers,” said D. Scott Lee, Managing Partner at Tauro Capital Advisors. “As these entities expand into the real estate finance space or find themselves needing additional bench strength or specific market, product, or analytical knowledge or experience, they are seeking advice from a firm like ours that has deep expertise in real estate and can help guide them successfully in financing transactions related to this industry.”

In conjunction with this expansion, Tauro hired Karen Stager as Senior Director, Advisory Fee Services to lead our advisory services activities to capital providers. A 34-year commercial real estate and financial investment professional with extensive valuation, asset management and workout experience, Stager will spearhead the firm’s effort to bring in capital advisory fee business.

Stager’s initial target is to assist lenders and developers with loan originations, underwriting and due diligence expertise, while offering a rigorous risk-management philosophy and approach across all CRE asset classes, which directly aligns with her experience, she explains.

With the new capital provider platform, Tauro’s advisory services have expanded to include real estate asset management, capital structuring, owner representation, acquisition due diligence, market research, and distressed solutions including bankruptcy value-add services and loan workouts. Each of these services is connected to the overall financial health of a capital provider, investment, investor, or enterprise, which enables Tauro’s team to provide a more nuanced degree of strategic guidance with the entire financial picture in mind, says Lee.

“As we navigate through the pandemic, there continues to be pent-up demand from investors to regain their footing in the marketplace,” explains Lee. “The right strategy from the right advisors is essential for them to achieve this goal. Our approach of combining our financial expertise with these new advisory services streamlines capital deployment, provides investors access to the funds they need and ensures cost savings and strong value creation. It’s a win-win strategy.”
