The research analyses relevant literature on various tools of performance measurement for healthcare facilities. Contributions made from the literature will be divided into three attributes namely soft performance measurement, hard performance measurement and a hybrid performance measurement. The findings discussed in this paper may give valuable insights to service providers with regards to the incorporation of both soft and hard attributes of performance measurement to strategically manage facilities. The organisation business strategy will eventually gain the benefits by cost saving of non-core activities.<br />
