When it comes to the health and medical care sector, the disciplines that make up asset management take on an added layer of sensitivity, since the well-being of millions of people depends on the proper management of assets, complex equipment, and facilities, among other things. Within asset management, industrial maintenance plays an essential role, and in hospital settings, it involves engineering and maintenance in the service of health and life.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asset management, in its broadest sense, is understood as the set of strategies that enables organizations to obtain the best performance and value from assets throughout their lifecycle. In the hospital setting, achieving this optimal performance is vital in the broadest sense of the word. In addition to the reliable operation of equipment, hospital facilities management is also crucial, as the interrelationship between these elements is part of the hospital ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b958748 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b958748\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Healthy Assets Supporting Health\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-380b515 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"380b515\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintenance strategies and plans form the foundation for the proper functioning of assets in hospital settings, encompassing both equipment and facilities. Let\u2019s consider a few points:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healthcare facilities must have protocols for equipment maintenance, prevention, and calibration in accordance with both technical requirements and the healthcare environment.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These protocols will be divided into broad areas that encompass maintenance activities; the most important are:<\/span><\/li><\/ul><ol><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintenance of Physical Facilities (water quality systems, waste disposal, plumbing, elevators, fire extinguishers, emergency lights, among others)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Biomedical Equipment Maintenance (calibrations, software updates)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Industrial Equipment within Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities (boilers, electrical systems, HVAC systems)<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IT Services (which contain all medical, technical, and accounting information)<\/span><\/li><\/ol><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintenance protocols will establish the criticality level of assets using asset management and clinical engineering approaches. Within clinical engineering, the criticality that determines maintenance frequency is divided into: Critical Equipment (related to patient life support), Semi-Critical Equipment (related to facilities), and Non-Critical Equipment (low-use equipment). The more frequently equipment is used and the more closely it is related to life support, the more critical it is considered to be and this defines the frequency of maintenance.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The strategies will determine the types of maintenance: preventive, corrective, calibrations, technical verification, among others.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every strategy will always include traceability, record-keeping, and a history of maintenance actions.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All these actions, organized and carried out according to the needs and strategies of each healthcare facility, ultimately aim to ensure patient well-being and safety, support healthcare staff in their daily duties, extend the useful life of equipment and facilities, enable increasingly accurate medical diagnoses, and maintain the hospital environment in optimal conditions.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-755e591 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"755e591\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Technology for Life<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-06ce7e9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"06ce7e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technology plays an essential role in the success of all these strategies. CMMS systems serve as a tool to centralize inventories, track the lifecycle and history of assets and optimize their performance, manage preventive maintenance, manage work orders, conduct data analysis and generate reports, manage inventories, and ensure compliance with regulations specific to this activity.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to having their own maintenance departments, hospitals often rely on external providers for specialized maintenance services, due to the complexity of biomedical equipment.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other disruptive technologies have a wide range of applications in the healthcare sector: IoT for monitoring the status of supplies and facilities, as well as tracking, monitoring, and locating them.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Digital Twins simulate scenarios to optimize the entire hospital system, ensuring at all times patient well-being, energy efficiency, healthcare safety, and financial control, among other aspects.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4fcc200 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4fcc200\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Maintenance Protocols in Medical Settings<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e9b2ba6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e9b2ba6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For companies specializing in the maintenance and inspection of medical equipment, there are several distinctions that are important to understand:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medical Equipment Maintenance Protocol: defines maintenance management<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medical Equipment Maintenance Plan: defines the practical application of the protocol to the equipment to be maintained<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Technical Maintenance Guidelines: define the set of specific maintenance tasks for a particular group of medical equipment within a defined timeframe, in accordance with the Maintenance Protocol<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every maintenance plan must include KPIs that measure the plan\u2019s efficiency<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each plan must specify roles and technical responsibilities, documentation and recording of activities and incidents, maintenance frequency, data storage, recommendations, and continuous improvement.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For specialized providers of these types of services, failing to understand these distinctions can lead to the application of generic protocols that are not tailored to the needs of the clinical environment, maintenance tasks that will not deliver the expected results, or problems with traceability and tracking of maintenance, inventory, or essential spare parts for healthcare equipment.
