Ashcom Technologies and MaintiMizer™ Help Hospitals

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ann Arbor, Michigan (November 15, 2010) – Meeting Joint Commission accreditation requirements is less time-consuming and more cost-effective for hospitals and health care organizations that use MaintiMizer™ as their computerized maintenance management system (CMMS).

Timothy Good, president of Ashcom Technologies, Inc., explains how his company’s CMMS makes achieving and maintaining accreditation easier: “The Joint Commission standard on equipment maintenance seems straightforward: organizations are required to follow manufacturers’ recommendations for preventive maintenance. But when you consider the number of pieces of equipment a hospital has in its inventory, you see just how challenging it can be to establish and maintain a thorough preventive maintenance program. Our health care customers across the country—including the Mayo Clinic, Emerson Hospital, and the Mercy Hospitals—tell us that using MaintiMizer™’s inventory and preventive maintenance modules is key to their ability to cost-effectively manage these tasks and create the accurate documentation needed to meet Joint Commission standards.”

MaintiMizer™’s preventive maintenance module is designed to meet the same goal as the Joint Commission standards: making sure that equipment works properly when it is needed through regular maintenance in accordance with manufacturer/industry standards. Regular preventive maintenance extends equipment life by reducing machinery stress and wear, saving the facility time and money and—most importantly—saving the lives of patients. Contact Ashcom Technologies today to find out how MaintiMizer™ can help your healthcare organization meet Joint Commission accreditation requirements.
