The Key to Providing Quality Healthcare

The key to providing quality healthcare is picking a company for preventative maintenance on medical equipment.  There are some things to consider when choosing the best organization for a facility’s needs:

  • What is their insurance policy on general liability? It is important that a company is backed by an insurance policy should liability issues arise.
  • Does the company offer test documentation for every PM? Offering documentation as well as keeping a record of every PM test on medical equipment gives an idea of the time the equipment was last checked as well as when it will need to be checked again.

The company chosen by a medical facility should possess the ability to remain organized concerning the documentation of PM checks.  By doing this, medical facilities will be able to cover using outdated or faulty equipment while caring for their patients.
