Case Study: McLaren Health Care secures 25% more annual facilities funding with Brightly Software's Origin

McLaren Health Uses Brightly Origin Data to Increase Annual Facilities Funding by 25%

McLaren Health Care, a Michigan-based system with 14 hospitals, 350 off-site facilities and more than 5 million square feet, struggled to get a clear, long-term view of capital needs and to secure consistent funding. Facilities teams relied on spreadsheets that let unfunded but necessary requests disappear from planning, limiting their authority and making it hard to meet standardization and cost-reduction goals.

After deploying Brightly Origin (integrated with their CMMS), McLaren gained real-time asset data and analytics to support prioritized capital requests, earning leadership trust and greater decision-making authority. The system helped them secure 25% more annual capital funding, improve Facility Health Index scores by 6–8%, consistently meet 3–5% annual cost-reduction targets, and standardize data for seamless onboarding of new facilities.
