The CMMS Must-Haves According to HTM/Biomeds

HTM/biomed departments have unique needs, including particular support needs from their CMMS or EAM platform. In this article we will explore the top features of FSI's CMMS for HTM/biomed users.


HTM/Biomed users have unique needs when it comes to CMMS utilization. As the leading CMMS for healthcare, FSI was built by former healthcare facilities and biomed professionals with a passion for developing solutions that tap into the specific requirements of healthcare maintenance management workflows.

FSI’s CMMS adds layers of efficiency and standardization that maximize productivity, accuracy, and data transparency to optimize maintenance processes and fuel data-driven decision making. 

As the industry evolves, FSI relies on customer feedback, attendance at biomed-specific events throughout the year, and our annual User Conference to fuel our product roadmap. Our CMMS has no shortage of solutions designed to empower biomeds – let’s take a look at some of the top features that our HTM customers rely on to ensure patient safety at every turn.

A CMMS for HTM Professionals

FSI's CMMS comes loaded with features to optimize maintenance workflows, whether through user-defined fields to customize the configuration to fit your processes, automation capabilities to cut down on clicks needed per task, or through the straightforward and digestible data displayed in Dashboards to keep a pulse on department performance and identify areas that could use tweaking. 

Efficiency

Maximizing efficiency is one of the strongest drivers of ROI in healthcare maintenance management. By cutting down on time wasted by clunky workflows, technicians are able to focus on the work that matters most – maintaining the assets needed to provide top-tier care. 

A valuable CMMS drives efficiency with features that save time in regular workflows:

  • Compliance Dashboards
    Staying inspection-ready is no easy task, and it starts with ensuring the ability to track how a facility is measuring up with regulatory compliance standards. Compliance Dashboards, available to all FSI users, offers a digestible visual representation of the standards set by regulatory agencies and if a facility is currently compliant in each area, with indicators automatically updating according to procedure results. 
  • File storage
    Storing and accessing documents can be a headache. FSI offers the capability to store files like images or manuals within the platform, with the ability to search files and attach relevant documents to work orders for easy reference. 
  • Automated workflows
    Flow, one of the newest features added to our CMMS, allows users to create custom automations for frequently-used workflows. From assigning work orders to updating an asset status, processes that typically take several clicks are reduced to one tap. 

Data and Reporting

FSI leverages your data to bring you thorough, reliable reporting that allows for smoother operations and less reactive work. Easily pull asset histories to prioritize potential at-risk equipment, reference accurate parts inventories to plan budget spend, or utilize pre-defined accreditation compliance reports to stay on top of inspection-readiness needs.

One of the most important steps in being able to use data in a meaningful way is just being able to easily understand what the data means. While a CMMS can house data, it is only useful if it can be displayed in a way that makes sense and is intuitive to keep track of.

FSI’s Dashboards offer customizable modules to stay on top of the metrics that matter most to each facility, whether the priority be tracking what assets are awaiting parts for repairs or keeping an eye on department budget.

Integrations

FSI's Public API offers a straightforward way to integrate the industry's most-used tools and streamline day-to-day tasks.

PartsSource

This integration allows for PartsSource to be launched from within FSI's CMMS, eliminating the need to switch back and forth between platforms and reducing time spent finding and purchasing materials. 

OneQA/Fluke

Our integration with Fluke Biomedical OneQA software streamlines device testing and data entry with results displayed directly in a Work Order, cutting down on errors made through manually entering results and work order delays from switching platforms. 

Cynerio

Cynerio's device security integration automatically detects vulnerabilities in network-connected devices and triggers the creation of a work order to address the problem, automating time-consuming steps. 

HTM/Biomed professionals need powerful tools that offer streamlined processes, actionable data with visibility on priority KPIs, and customization in documentation to meet their specific needs.
