    PartsSource, a fully integrated, supply chain procurement and advanced logistics platform, has announced PartsSource Pro 2019, which the company says provides expanded access to critical stock, advanced training, and decision support for technology management and clinical engineering teams.

    PartsSource Pro 2019 delivers three new benefits: guaranteed availability of mission-critical parts; integration of technical documentation for part validation, and discounted elite training courses in equipment maintenance. As a result of this release, the company says members of the PartsSource Pro community will be further equipped to speed-up repair, ensure clinical availability, and lower their cost of service.

    “We’re ultimately measured on equipment uptime,” said Doug Kirsop, System HTM Director at OhioHealth in a press statement. “Our speed to repair for equipment relies on our ability to predict downtime, our knowledge of how to maintain or fix equipment, and the availability of products we need. PartsSource Pro helps us succeed in each of those areas to keep equipment up and running for our patients.”

    Features of PartsSource Pro 2019:

    ·   To speed time-to-repair, PartsSource says it leverages data science and predictability of which mission-critical replacement parts are out of stock or slow to ship. These critical products now will be guaranteed in-stock at the PartsSource warehouse, ready for prompt shipment to members of the PartsSource Pro community.

    ·   Part validation can be difficult because technical documentation of the equipment is often outdated or difficult to access. As a result, the wrong part may be ordered inadvertently, causing uptime delays. To improve part identification, PartsSource Pro offers an integration to equipment documentation inside the PartsSource online platform, providing instant access to the most up-to-date manual and preventive maintenance schedules for validated part selection.

    ·   Clinical engineers are increasingly managing more advanced equipment, which can be difficult when advanced training courses are required to learn the intricacies of the equipment, but professional educational budgets are tight or non-existent. Now, members of the PartsSource Pro community will receive a discounted rate on hundreds of elite training courses for radiology, mammography, CT, ultrasound, networking, PACS, and DICOM, that will help them lower cost of service and improve uptime.
