Austin, TX, June 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Accruent, the leading provider of solutions to manage the built environment, today announced that it has expanded its relationship with Attainia, a provider of widely-used solutions for medical capital equipment planning and replacement. The agreement between the companies will allow Attainia to integrate Accruent’s Data Insights into the Attainia platform, allowing capital equipment planners to access aggregated asset ownership data for thousands of equipment models while creating project plans. This integration, scheduled for release on June 17, 2020, will allow planners to make equipment choices based on the ownership experiences of other healthcare organizations.
An estimate cited by Becker’s CFO Report indicated that medical device lifecycle management costs U.S. hospitals $93 billion annually. These costs include installation expenses, repair and maintenance as well as the cost of disposition. The more a hospital or health system spends on these management activities, the greater the impact on their margins and the potential impact the level of care they can deliver. Many organizations are in reactive mode and long term lifecycle management, which requires an integrated approach, has seemed unreachable for some until now.
Accruent Data Insights is a simple-to-use web application that provides hospital executives information to assist in making the best capital planning, purchasing, maintenance and labor decisions for their biomedical equipment. Based on ownership experiences from more than half of U.S. hospitals, the Accruent Data Insights platform aggregates millions of data points and delivers valuable metrics in easy-to-consume visualizations to guide decisions.
Accruent Data Insights enables hospitals to:
- Determine the most reliable and lowest cost of operation equipment to purchase
- Identify and manage cost reductions without adding resources
- Plan future capital spend for equipment and materials
- Account for proper depreciation schedules
- Optimize clinical engineering headcount and resourcing based on predicted labor needs
- Determine the best time to replace biomedical devices
