Does anyone know of a suitable healthcare equipment management and maintenance systems, based on the inventory? I am aware of the current capabilities of mSupply. For comparison purposes, does anyone know of an alternative asset management system, that is suitable for the management of biomedical (hospital) equipment, including Cold Chain equipment? The software system should ideally cover the full range of asset lifecycle management functionality, including procurement, registration, depreciation, location tracking, repairs and maintenance, spare parts management, retirement, and disposal. The system should be networked, with the national database linked to sub-national biomedical management centres. Suggestions are most welcome!
- The new tool, the web-based inventory gap analysis tool: is a real-time, dynamic, simple, tool for updating cold chain equipment inventory using web-based and mobile-based data collection platforms. It works both on computers, and Android or iOS (apple devices).
- Most data tools, are linked to equipment functionality, capacity
The areas of repairs and maintenance, spare parts management, retirement, and disposal: have to do with human effort but, most managers think the tool will give solutions to repair, and maintenance, no.
- procurement, registration, depreciation:
All WHO/UNICEF have procurement protocols if you put it on a tool, it will have no value to the handles or end users at a low level and is a seasonal activity that requires management decisions.
I will suggest in my own opinion, that the workload will be too much on the database handler, and no professionalization e.g a database manager may not be able to handle spare parts due to names of the parts, use, and replacements when needed,
So, to ensure activities are well achieved we have to be mindful of the handlers' knowledge and educational background for tracking, repairs and maintenance, spare parts management, retirement, and disposal.
Suggestion, tools for repairs and maintenance, spare parts management, retirement, and disposal should be different for equipment equipment management
