PartsSource launches PartsSource Pro 2020 and an AEM Program Database to improve medical equipment maintenance and uptime
PartsSource, has launched PartsSource Pro 2020. The services company uses patented, evidence-based decision support to improve asset uptime, decrease long-tail expenses and streamline workflow.
PartsSource Pro is a managed service model combining best processes, cloud-software and logistical support to deliver top-quartile performance for hospital Clinical Engineering and Supply Chain organizations in the U.S. PartsSource Pro specifically addresses the needs of hospitals in an era where doing more with less means getting the most from supply spend, ensuring talent works at the top of their license, and using data science and product outcomes evidence to make decisions.
With the introduction of PartsSource Pro 2020, members can receive three new benefits: a new virtual client community; an expanded Guaranteed Stock program for mission-critical medical products; and the industry’s first Alternative Equipment Maintenance (AEM) database simplifying the creation of AEM programs, making it even easier for the over 1,000 hospitals in the PartsSource Pro community to accelerate equipment repair, ensure clinical availability, and lower the cost of service.
The new PartsSource Pro online client community is designed to encourage innovation and knowledge-sharing among community members. Clients can access curated content comprised of the latest best practices, premium content including hundreds of hours of educational videos, and shared learnings – quickly, easily and 24x7. The platform also provides access to proprietary tools that support strategic initiatives such as toolkits for Capital Planning, Alternative Equipment Maintenance, and a growing repository of other ready-to-use toolkits designed to help clients implement key strategies for achieving high-performance HTM. Lastly, the online community lets clinical engineers connect with industry colleagues, exchange best practices and obtain real-time insights.
PartsSource Pro 2020 makes the AEM database available to community members, providing all the tools and information needed to build a successful AEM program. The Joint Commission has encouraged healthcare facilities to develop their own AEM programs but the lack of a streamlined process for developing an AEM program has meant that few facilities have taken advantage of the option.
