Hospital Network Medical Equipment Inventory
Comprehensive medical equipment tracking and compliance verification across a multi-facility healthcare network to ensure regulatory adherence and optimize asset utilization.
The Challenge
A regional healthcare network operating 18 hospital facilities faced significant challenges with medical equipment tracking and regulatory compliance. The organization needed to establish a comprehensive baseline inventory of all medical equipment across their network.
Key Challenges:
- Incomplete equipment records across multiple facilities with inconsistent tracking systems
- Joint Commission accreditation requirements for complete equipment documentation
- Need to verify calibration status and maintenance schedules for critical medical devices
- Equipment utilization concerns with potential for significant cost savings through optimization
- Minimal disruption requirement to ongoing patient care operations
Our Solution
We deployed specialized healthcare inventory teams across all 18 facilities to conduct a comprehensive medical equipment inventory using RFID and barcode technology designed for healthcare environments.
Implementation Approach:
- Facility-by-facility rollout with minimal impact to patient care operations
- RFID tagging of all medical equipment with unique asset identifiers
- Verification of calibration dates, maintenance schedules, and regulatory compliance status
- Integration with existing biomedical engineering and asset management systems
- Detailed documentation package for Joint Commission accreditation review
