Challenge

As a Director of a multi-hospital organization, I want to ensure that all of my hospitals are using our corporate best Practice and standardized lists for the creation of thorough equipment inventory and preventative maintenance schedules. When I report on our success as an organization, I don’t want to spend time trying to figure out if an Air Handler, AHU and Air Handler Room 5 are all Air Handlers. When I compare PM completion rates and hours, I want to guarantee that the PM protocol is the same best practice used at all of our facilities.

Solution

With EQ2 Best Practice, your hospital’s compliance with your best Practice and standardized lists is automatically ensured by the Best Practice engine. Once your hospital has subscribed to our Best Practice Service Area, EQ2 Best Practice will track new additions to the equipment type, inventory, manufacturers, and any other list you want to standardize. In addition, Best Practice ensures the fields you require are entered before the equipment is approved for inclusion in the individual hospital’s active inventory. Your lists stay standardized because nothing is approved by Best Practice until you or your designated staff have reviewed and approved it.

EQ2 Best Practice standardizes equipment inventory and their relationship to risk. Using industry standard questions and values, each type or model is provided with a risk value. In addition, this risk value is checked to determine the minimum interval for Preventative Maintenance scheduling. You will no longer need to guess or search through paperwork because EQ2 Best Practice sets up your schedule automatically, identifies and assigns each procedure, and to what minimum interval should be assigned.

Get EQ2 Best Practice and achieve an EQLibrary (equipment electronic library) for equipment model and type based on information (circuit drawings, technical manuals, training videos) entered only once in Best Practice. Your hospitals will have access to the EQLibrary anywhere—anytime.
