You’ve always known that maintaining the non-medical systems in your facility – from air quality to power backup to communications – is critical. Now The Joint Commission agrees… and will hold you to it.
As of January 2019, The Joint Commission (TJC) has joined the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Center for Improvement in Healthcare Quality (CIHQ) accreditation organization in requiring hospitals to strictly adhere to manufacturers’ preventive maintenance recommendations (or the facility’s alternative equipment maintenance (AEM) program) for non-medical equipment maintenance and repairs.
It’s more important than ever that members of your healthcare facility management (HFM) team have quick access to hundreds of documents including facility maintenance plans, service manuals, parts lists, and the other public and proprietary information related to your facility’s non-medical systems. Easy access to this material for everyone who needs it is critical – not only to promote effective, efficient maintenance, but to demonstrate compliance.
Just as we support your HTMs and BMETs by providing online access to the latest manufacturer documentation for surgical devices and biomedical equipment, we also offer this cost-effective solution to help your HFM technicians meet regulatory and accreditation mandates regarding non-medical system maintenance and care.
