Rising costs, aging populations, staff and supply shortages, and security breaches are among the many complex challenges healthcare facilities face today. In its 2022 U.S. SaaS Healthcare Maintenance and Facility Management MarketScape, analyst firm IDC suggests that healthcare cloud CMMS vendors need to go beyond traditional methods to keep pace with the industry’s rapidly changing landscape.
As COVID-19 demonstrated, all aspects of healthcare must operate efficiently to provide the best care to individual patients and the population at-large. As such, management of the physical environment — including equipment and asset reliability, safety, upkeep, security, and compliance — is a critical component of healthcare delivery, in the same way that documenting care and billing for services are.
SaaS Buying Considerations & Evaluation Criteria
Before a company invests in a SaaS solution, IDC details essential buying considerations that should be taken into account, including:
- Core functional capabilities
- Customer relationships
- Configurability
- Mobility
- Location intelligence
- IoT capabilities
The MarketScape report also evaluated top SaaS healthcare facility management vendors. This was based on key strategy and capability measures, such as customer satisfaction, innovation, functionality, industry focus, and experience. Based on these criteria, IDC identified market “Leaders,” “Major Players,” “Contenders,” and “Participants.”
A Leader in Healthcare Maintenance & Facility Management
After a thorough evaluation of 11 vendors, IDC named Accruent as a Leader, primarily based on its TMS, its healthcare CMMS. IDC cited the key reasons that it named Accruent a Leader, but the list is even longer. Consider that Accruent offers the healthcare industry:
