The Webinar Wednesday session “Challenges of Clinical Equipment Replacement Planning – An Objective and Simple Approach” sponsored by Nuvolo was eligible for 1 credit from the ACI.
Nuvolo Vice President of Healthcare Industry Solutions Heidi Horn, Nuvolo Executive Solution Consultant Dustin Smith and Nuvolo Product Manager Olga Leskova-Benitez were co-presenters for this informative session.
Determining which clinical devices need to be replaced, when they need to be replaced, and which equipment are higher priorities for replacement over others has long been a challenging process for HTM departments. If your HTM department is like most, you’re probably using spreadsheets to create a list of clinical equipment replacement priorities in a mostly subjective process that takes weeks of work to complete and then quickly becomes outdated. It doesn’t have to be that hard.
Working with HTM leaders, Nuvolo has developed a new application for its Connected Workplace for Healthcare solution called Capital Planning. Nuvolo Capital Planning uses objective criteria in the CMMS to help instantly identify clinical equipment replacement priorities and provides the visibility needed to sort through thousands of clinical devices and see which ones should be budgeted for replacement first.
Attendees gathered additional insights during a question-and-answer portion of the webinar. One attendee asked, “What if my hospital has different criteria, it wants to use in setting the equipment replacement priorities?”
The Nuvolo trio was quick to reply saying that the feature for that process can easily be customized to fit the facility’s needs.
“So, you can go through, and you can add that to the prioritization rules and then it’s simply going to aggregate based on the number you’ve provided,” they said. “So, it is really the filtering criteria.”
The complete Q&A session is available in a recording of the webinar that is available in the Webinar Wednesday on-demand library at WebinarWednesday.live.
