 • Do more with less: Healthcare facilities face challenges with aging equipment fleets, increased equipment volumes and shortages of qualified biomedical technicians
• Rising Equipment complexity: Modern medical devices require more sophisticated maintenance protocols while regulatory compliance demands continue to intensify
• The cost of deferred maintenance: How maintenance backlogs create safety risks, increases amount of equipment that needs to be serviced and ultimately impacting patient care delivery
• Flu season readiness: Flu season brings short-term census spikes that create equipment shortages and can drive up rental expenses when hospital owned equipment is not available. For the flu season, HTM teams should look to close PM and repair backlogs on high-demand devices (vents, pumps, beds and monitors), carefully review quality standards for rental equipment coming into the hospital and pre-plan for coverage when staff is out sick or on vacation.
