Frequently Asked Questions
Why is effective medical equipment planning important for hospitals?
With better equipment planning, medical facilities can improve efficiency, lower equipment costs, decrease maintenance-related downtime, and create more optimized workflows.
The result? Patients can receive the best life-saving treatment when they need it. From diagnostic machines to life-saving monitoring devices, facilities can immediately locate and retrieve any device benchmarking data at a moment’s notice.
Hospitals can also ensure adherence to regulatory standards with OSHA, the Joint Commision on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, HIPPA, and more.
What role does preventative maintenance play in medical equipment planning?
Preventative maintenance is the greatest safeguard from wear and tear of medical equipment. With a consistent maintenance schedule in place, facilities can ensure greater longevity for each piece of equipment and less downtime.
Regular checks and inspections can identify malfunctions and address potential issues before they interfere with patient care.
Preventative maintenance should be part of a proactive strategy for elevating patient safety and equipment performance.
How often should hospitals update their medical equipment?
There are a few factors that may indicate it is time to update medical equipment. Among these are technological advancements, changing regulatory requirements, clinical performance, and budgetary constraints.
The latter two are typically determined at the clinic level, while the former are more market-specific and require constant research to stay up to date with any changes.
Based on these factors, in addition to feedback from staff and other users, hospitals should determine the most appropriate cadence for their equipment upgrades.
Why does a hospital need medical equipment planning software?
Medical equipment planning software helps facilities consolidate their most critical information into digestible dashboards, making it shareable for decision makers, those in charge of purchasing, and others.
This software not only helps automate scheduling and maintenance checks, but it also creates alerts that will inform team members when a device is potentially reaching end of life, etc.
With this information, hospitals can focus on what they do best, patient care, and allow the equipment planning software to handle the day-to-day logistics.
Are there guidelines for medical equipment planning within healthcare institutions?
Regulatory bodies play a vocal role in developing guidelines aimed at patient safety. Institutions like OSHA, FDA (Food and Drug Administration), and ISO work with national healthcare providers to ensure all medical equipment requirements are being met.
Risk management is a key component of these guidelines, ensuring that facilities are utilizing equipment in the correct way without sacrificing safety. Requirements continue to evolve, making it even more critical for medical facilities to invest in top-tier software.
