The Unseen Risk: Is Your Healthcare Facility Ready for the Next Weather Catastrophe? https://24x7mag.com/resource-center/white-papers/the-unseen-risk-is-your-healthcare-facility-ready-for-the-next-weather-catastrophe/ Tue, 20 Feb 2024 18:05:19 +0000 https://24x7mag.com/?p=386023

Unpredictable Weather, Unprepared Facilities

The frequency and intensity of extreme weather events are on an alarming rise, leaving a trail of destruction that spares no sector, least of all healthcare. In 2022, the U.S. faced 18 weather disasters, each causing damages exceeding $1 billion. For healthcare facilities, these aren’t mere statistics—they’re a clarion call for urgent action. The real question isn’t if your facility will face such a disaster, but when.

The Stakes Have Never Been Higher

Imagine the chaos when a storm hits and your facility’s critical systems falter under the pressure. The cost of unpreparedness is not just financial—it’s measured in human lives. The gap between knowing you should prepare and having a concrete plan to safeguard your operations against weather disasters is vast and fraught with hidden pitfalls. Without a robust strategy, your facility risks being overwhelmed, compromising patient care when it’s needed the most.

  • Financial Devastation: Beyond the immediate recovery costs, consider the long-term impact on your facility’s financial health.
  • Operational Paralysis: When critical equipment fails, your capacity to deliver care is significantly diminished.
  • Reputational Damage: In the digital age, news of inadequate disaster response spreads quickly, potentially tarnishing your facility’s reputation for years.

A Glimpse into Strategic Preparedness

While the challenges are daunting, the path to resilience is not out of reach. The solution lies within a tool you might already have but are not fully leveraging—your CMMS. A CMMS isn’t just about maintenance management; it’s about transforming your approach to emergency preparedness and recovery. However, unlocking its full potential requires a deep dive into strategies that are not immediately obvious.

  • Preventive Measures: How can you prioritize and execute preventive maintenance to ensure that your most critical equipment is disaster-ready?
  • Rapid Response: When the clock is ticking, how can you mobilize your CMMS to orchestrate a swift, effective emergency response?
  • Sustained Recovery: Post-disaster, how can your CMMS facilitate a smooth, rapid return to normal operations, ensuring continuity of care?

To reveal the comprehensive strategies that address these questions, we invite you to explore our latest whitepaper. Discover how to transform your CMMS from a mere tool into a strategic ally in your fight against weather disasters.

Don’t Wait for the Storm to Strike

The difference between being caught off-guard and being prepared can be your facility’s legacy. Arm yourself with knowledge and strategies that ensure you’re not just surviving the next disaster, but thriving in its aftermath.

Unlock the full power of your CMMS and turn the tide against weather-induced chaos. Your facility, staff, and patients deserve no less.

Trending Topics for Biomed and Healthcare Technology Management in 2024 https://24x7mag.com/resource-center/white-papers/trending-topics-for-biomed-and-healthcare-technology-management-in-2024/ Fri, 03 Nov 2023 15:49:00 +0000 https://24x7mag.com/?p=385152

As 2023 comes to a close, healthcare technology management (HTM) professionals face a number of industry-wide challenges and opportunities that experts anticipate will continue to unfold throughout 2024.

Many of these challenges can be directly addressed within an organization’s computerized maintenance management system (CMMS). From ensuring a complete asset inventory to staying vigilant ahead of potential cyber-attacks, a CMMS is essential for HTM professionals to maintain operations and regulatory compliance.

Not all CMMS solutions are created equal, particularly for the purposes of HTM. Ensure your system can adequately handle the top industry challenges ahead of 2024 by evaluating whether your CMMS meets the criteria for optimal performance for next year and beyond.

In this report, we explore several key topics:

  • Criteria for a CMMS purpose-built for HTM requirements.
  • Anticipated 2024 trends and how your CMMS can help you stay ahead.
  • How to evaluate whether your CMMS can address these topics.

3 Ways Cloud RTLS Can Improve Asset Tracking https://24x7mag.com/resource-center/white-papers/3-ways-cloud-rtls-can-improve-asset-tracking/ Sat, 12 Jun 2021 19:48:00 +0000 https://24x7mag.com/?p=373014 Easier installation, scalability, and use case expansion

The struggle to find the equipment needed for patient care and preventive maintenance is so pervasive that biomedical staff now consider it a regular part of their day-to-day reality. However, this misperception of “normal” adds up to significant numbers—hidden or misplaced equipment costs the average 300-bed hospital as much as $7 million per year!

Midmark RTLS can empower biomedical engineers both in terms of recouped time and broadened asset visibility. Midmark RTLS Cloud Asset Tracking is a proven way to return lost time to biomed teams and dramatically enhance their institutional contributions.

HIMSS White Paper Makes Case for Interoperability https://24x7mag.com/resource-center/white-papers/himss-white-paper-makes-case-interoperability/ Fri, 12 Sep 2014 22:53:40 +0000 http://www.24x7mag.com/?p=28219 A white paper published by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) makes “The Business Case for Interoperability and Health Information Exchange.” According to the organization, the document “sets the transformational stage for healthcare reform with a strong connection between health information exchange and interoperable exchange of patient health data.”

The white paper argues that financial and policy incentives should be realigned to reward “those vendors and stakeholders within the health marketplace who actively design for interoperability and demonstrably prove its value in practice.”

“This report serves as a primer on our country’s growing national focus on health IT,” CoreHealth Technologies CEO and HIE Community member Charlie Rogers said in a press release. “It provides a history from where we’ve come and identifies the challenges ahead for HIE, healthcare integration and interoperability.”

Siemens Releases Whitepaper on Worldwide Equipment Acquisition Trends https://24x7mag.com/resource-center/white-papers/siemens-releases-whitepaper-on-worldwide-equipment-acquisition-trends/ Thu, 05 Sep 2013 14:29:51 +0000 http://www.24x7mag.com/2013/09/siemens-releases-whitepaper-on-worldwide-equipment-acquisition-trends/ A whitepaper from Siemens Healthcare examines worldwide trends in acquisitions of medical equipment.

Key points of the report include:

  • Because of the competitive nature of the US healthcare market, hospitals are looking for ways to differentiate themselves from others. One tactic they are using is advertising acquisitions of their latest equipment acquisitions to potential patients.
  • The challenge for all healthcare systems is finding ways to finance these acquisitions.
  • Austerity measures in some European countries are limiting access to available financing. Russia and Turkey are also experiencing difficulty replacing old equipment.
  • In China and India, the main challenge is approaching equipment acquisition amid significant and ongoing changes to the larger healthcare systems. Finding ways to channel an explosion in growth (upward of 40% increases in diagnostic imaging spending in each country, for example) will be a major topic for the next few years.
  • The US is experiencing its own changes, with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. However, its implementation within the context of a tepid economy poses uncertainties.
