Medical or healthcare facilities require extremely specialized and precise maintenance of their equipment. The work done on this equipment is vital for the safety and well-being of patients and healthcare workers, so it is essential that these maintenance tasks are completed accurately and consistently. That’s where CMMS comes in; a Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) streamlines the process of scheduling, tracking, and completing maintenance tasks associated with medical facility equipment.
With CMMS software, healthcare facility managers have access to detailed records about their assets and can easily track which inspections have been completed, what preventive maintenance has been performed, where parts were last used, or when warranties expire. This data allows them to more efficiently manage their operations while also ensuring that the right procedures are followed and that safety standards are met. CMMS also helps to automate the scheduling of maintenance, from small tasks like changing filters and bulbs to more intensive procedures such as calibrating equipment or even replacing parts.
Facility management can be streamlined by setting up service schedules for each piece of equipment based on its specific needs,then letting the system generate routine maintenance work orders at regular intervals with no further effort required from staff. This ensures that the necessary work is tracked and completed in a timely manner, preventing costly breakdowns and ensuring optimal operation of all medical devices. A CMMS featuring a mobile app increases the efficiency of staff even more by the real-time notifications of new tasks, completion of tasks, or delays of scheduled maintenance.
Finally, CMMS software makes it easier to analyze data and identify any patterns or trends in how certain pieces of equipment are performing over time. With this data, facility managers or operations teams can make better-informed business decisions about their asset management strategy, ultimately helping to increase efficiency and save costs in the long run. The equipment in healthcare facilities is often expensive and thus a significant investment that should be maintained and protected.
By implementing CMMS software in healthcare facilities, an organization can be confident that the assets and equipment are receiving the proper care needed to ensure optimal performance and reliability over time. With its extensive capabilities and detailed records of each piece of equipment, CMMS is an invaluable tool for any medical facility looking to maximize efficiency while ensuring the safety of its patients and staff.

We covered the impact of COVID-19 on Facilities Management budgets last year in a webinar we presented. The issues we raised then are playing out now in the budgets of some of our clients.

The healthcare industry is quickly becoming a dominant sector of the American economy – recession proof, some say – so it is easy to understand that each physical healthcare facility of any type is a significant strategic asset that requires rigorous upkeep by in-house staff and third-party vendors.
