AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Accruent, the leading provider of healthcare technology (HTM) and facilities management (HFM) and Attainia, a widely-used solution for medical capital equipment planning and replacement, announced today that they have partnered to help healthcare delivery organizations manage their full asset lifecycles and facilitate incremental cost reductions, allowing for improved quality of patient care.
According to a recent Becker's Hospital CFO Report, U.S. hospitals are failing to realize up to $15 billion in annual Medical Equipment Lifecycle (MELC) savings due to "lack of accurate information, internal resources, bandwidth and specialized expertise." The combination of Accruent and Attainia delivers accurate information to aid in all MELC phases and increase confidence in capital planning decisions.
In order to truly know and reduce the total cost of asset ownership, organizations must implement full asset lifecycle management – from pre-assessment through acquisition and support to final disposition. Informed purchasing decisions based on total visibility of organizational needs, can further reduce the total cost of ownership of assets and positively impact organizational bottom lines. In addition, using objective data to create multi-year strategic capital replacement plans increases the ability to negotiate discounts and improves outcomes from construction and facility renovation projects.
Hospital systems struggle with complete equipment lifecycle management challenges across healthcare technology and facilities management departments. The partnership between Accruent and Attainia brings together two of the most powerful tools available to identify additional cost-saving opportunities for HTM and HFM professionals.
Effective medical equipment lifecycle management tools help healthcare organizations:
Improve patient care through streamlined processes, efficiencies and cost reduction
Quickly generate and update accurate equipment budgets
Collaborate and centralize capital equipment decision processes
Reduce expensive change orders and project completion delays
Prioritize, forecast and control capital expenditures for immediate and long-term budgets
The combination of Accruent and Attainia delivers these benefits by providing:
A standardized equipment catalog with more than 63,000 SKUs for medical furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E) that improves asset data integrity, reduces complexity and streamlines project creation
