  • The Best Tool for Healthcare Asset Management

Hospital equipment is expensive. Additionally, this equipment is difficult to replace and repair, impacting patients’ lives. This is why it’s important that hospitals adopt an IT Asset Management (ITAM) tool to maintain the health of their patients and equipment. Tools like Teqtivity ensure all of your hospital’s equipment is managed properly and operationally. 

So, how are you currently managing your assets? Are you using multiple spreadsheets? Or maybe you are using an outdated program that leaves much to be desired? Regardless of which it is, there’s a better way to manage your assets. 

Here are the key features to look for when selecting an ITAM tool for healthcare:

Real-Time Tracking: To run a hospital efficiently, you need to know where every piece of equipment is at any moment. Teqtivity allows you to track all of your assets accurately and in real-time. That way there is no scrambling for a wheelchair or confusion about a missing ultrasound machine.   

Maintenance Scheduling: As you already know, medical equipment needs regular maintenance to keep it working optimally. With a good ITAM tool, you can automate reminders for servicing and avoid unexpected malfunctions. Additionally, by maintaining your assets, you essentially increase their lifespan. 

Reporting and Analytics: To make informed decisions regarding your budget, you need accurate data. A great ITAM tool will allow you to download unlimited and detailed reports to identify trends, optimize usage and plan for the future. You get all of this with Teqtivity, and you are also able to customize your reports for specific information you’re looking to capture. 

Integration Capabilities: Your ITAM tool should integrate with other tools you use for your daily operations. These can range from electronic health records (EHR) to your IT help desk tool. By integrating with other tools, your information stays updated in real-time and your teams are able to work with increased ease and confidence.

User-Friendly Interface: You need an ITAM tool that improves your workflow, not one that makes it more difficult. A user-friendly interface is important for your staff to feel comfortable using the tool from Day 1 and for the training of future employees. We’ve designed Teqtivity with this in mind, and our clients enjoy a seamless transition to our platform.
