4 Strategies for anticipating medical device needs to protect your health system and patients

The relationship between health systems and medical equipment can be complicated. The modern standard of care leans heavily on technology to aid diagnostics and treatment. But the cost of advancing care is substantial. In addition to the cost of purchasing equipment, health systems must invest in maintaining these highly technical devices. While the breadth of these demands may seem daunting, standardizing a proactive approach to technical maintenance, supply chain management, regulatory compliance, and cybersecurity can remove many uncertainties from modern care delivery and yield a greater return on a health system’s investments.

STREAMLINE MEDICAL DEVICE MAINTENANCE AND HEALTHCARE TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT WITH RSQ

RSQ Logo 2017_ColorThe computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) is a foundational element of day-to-day clinical engineering. But these systems need to go beyond intaking and storing maintenance requests to truly empower technicians to maintain and optimize medical devices. Clinical engineers, supply chain executives, and safety and quality experts built RSQ, the TRIMEDX proprietary workflow and analytics platform, as the foundation of our clinical engineering services. With RSQ, you can drive informed, responsive Smart Work Orders that address your operational and strategic priorities.  Learn more about how the right CMMS can strengthen healthcare technology management services.

Equip Biomed Technicians with Vital Information

RSQ Smart Work Orders Make Device Maintenance Easier

  • Automatic work orders generated for recalls and critical cybersecurity vulnerabilities
  • Device matching to work orders occurs automatically to cut down on time-consuming manual activities
  • Relevant device manuals and technical specifications are automatically included to equip technicians with necessary information faster
  • Device metrics including maintenance, repair, and parts history are automatically incorporated to provide a more informative picture of a device’s status
  • Predictive work orders dispatched automatically for high-end imaging equipment

RSQ integrates all regulatory and supply chain functions to match specific medical devices in your inventory quickly and effectively to recalls and FDA alerts. Automatically generated work orders dispatch technicians to streamline response times and reduce the manual effort required to identify and remediate relevant alerts and recalls. Take advantage of device monitoring preventative maintenance schedules, and even automated work orders that identify potential device failures. 

AUTOMATED EQUIPMENT TESTING IMPROVES TECHNICIAN EFFICIENCY AND DATA ACCURACY

Biomedical engineers are at the core foundation of our business. RSQ provides a cutting-edge mobile automation testing engine that integrates with medical equipment to improve testing accuracy, failure diagnostics, data handling, and compliance reporting. Highly precise prescriptive intelligence saves technicians up to 10 minutes per equipment test and allows them to complete proactive maintenance at the time of testing. Additionally, machine-learning engines collect and analyze the vast amounts of data generated during equipment testing to continuously improve testing accuracy, minimize equipment downtime, increase technician efficiency, and ensure equipment is consistently in working order.  

Gain Unparalleled Visibility
of your Device Inventory

TRIMEDX's Clinical Asset Informatics leverages real-time performance metrics from medical device inventories to create benchmarks and insights for optimizing uptime and controlling costs.
