Case Study: Blessing Health System achieves clearer asset relationship mapping with AkitaBox

Ending the Confusion of Complex Asset Relationships with Innovative Mapping

Blessing Health System, an integrated health system with 161 locations across Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri, needed a better way to manage complex asset relationships across its hospitals and facilities. The facilities team struggled to track how HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and life-safety systems were connected, and relied on wordy descriptions instead of clear maps—making it difficult to respond quickly to issues and protect patient and staff safety. Blessing Health turned to AkitaBox, a facility management platform with built-in mapping capabilities.

With AkitaBox, Blessing Health mapped assets and room relationships onto digital floor plans, showing upstream and downstream connections for each building system in one user-friendly platform. The team can now quickly find impacted assets, update relationships in bulk, and access all blueprints, assets, preventive maintenance information, and technical manuals in one place. As a result, Blessing Health reports faster response times, fewer call-backs, reduced confusion around asset relationships, and no need for dual work across systems.
