Case Study: Hospital Corporation of America (HCA Healthcare) achieves $3.4M in savings and 30–40% faster payment processing with Trimble e-Builder

HCA Healthcare Centralized Capital Project Management Leads to Impressive Savings

HCA Healthcare, a Nashville-based leader with more than 186 facilities across the U.S. and U.K., manages a capital program exceeding $1 billion and more than 100 projects annually. With a 50-person team supporting projects from new hospitals to renovations, HCA struggled with limited staff resources, paper-driven processes, poor change‑order transparency, and time-consuming document distribution.

HCA implemented e-Builder Enterprise with phased training, a standardized data-capture process, and forecasting tools to centralize project files and integrate reporting across systems. The initiative delivered budget controls and visibility, cut payment processing time by 30–40%, saved nearly 5% (about $3.4M) to date, improved collaboration, and allowed reinvestment in capital projects, charity, and staff development.
