We know many hospitals and healthcare facilities run lean biomedical teams. That may be intentional as they focus on efficiency and cost savings.
For others, it might be a challenge to fill open HTM positions so team members end up juggling multiple roles or responsibilities.
We know the recruiting challenge is real. This article on the impact of HTM staffing shortages points out that nearly half of today’s HTM professionals are over the age of 45. Each year, only a few hundred new graduates enter the field.
The Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) reports hospitals spend about 3 months filling HTM vacancies.
This means HTM and biomed teams are often stretched to capacity. A normal team is three to seven people who are tasked with keeping an entire hospital’s equipment running smoothly.
These teams might work behind the scenes but their impact on patient care is critical.
Partnering with a third-party provider on repairs can be extremely helpful in filling those gaps. It also supports facilities that are focused on maximizing efficiencies and implementing cost-saving measures.
Here’s how partnering on repairs can support lean biomed teams:
Fill the gaps. If you have open positions, are short staffed, or simply have team members who are out of the office, we can help. Send us your patient monitoring devices for quick, high-quality repairs.
Cost savings. Repairing equipment is almost always less expensive than buying a new device. Plus, you extend the life of your equipment. Budget for the new device next year instead of dealing with a surprise replacement in this budget cycle.
Tap into expertise. Our repair team is experienced and trained to handle just about any repair. We see a lot of equipment and tackle a lot of issues. Trust us, we can get your items back in good working order – fast.
Free up your time. Don’t waste your time trying to figure out how to repair a broken patient monitoring device. Instead, focus on the tasks only your team can handle. Busy with your preventive maintenance schedule? No problem! Keep working on that and send items that need repaired to our team.
Let us be your go-to partner for medical device repairs. Our typical turnaround time is 5-7 business days. We know how important it is to get your equipment back in service. Patients are depending on you. We take that mission seriously and are standing ready to fill in gaps and support your biomed team.
