For more than a decade, MicroMain has delivered EAM/CMMS systems to hospitals and healthcare facilities. We now offer an even larger array of integrated products, including healthcare-specific CMMS (MicroMain XM for Healthcare), facility management software and capital planning programs. Using MicroMain software, hospitals, clinics and other healthcare organizations have benefited from facility as well as engineering/biomedical management.

Meet Healthcare Needs

Healthcare facilities face a unique set of challenges in asset and facility management, which is why MicroMain developed MicroMain XM for Healthcare specifically for you. 

Designed in close coordination with healthcare facility professionals and organizations, this system meets the needs of both facilities and clinical engineering/biomedical departments. So you have the tools you require to effectively manage and maintain your respective environment.

MicroMain XM for Healthcare keeps it simple. This easy-to-use EAM/CMMS helps you ensure continuous facility operability, including multi-tier backup systems. It also helps you identify patient and staff equipment risk and link that risk to the equipment or area being serviced. You can also identify the regulatory bodies associated with an asset, asset healthcare equipment class, risk assessment score, and more. 

MicroMain XM for Healthcare also provides you with fields and an appropriate data structure to track the information required by regulatory agencies such as JCAHO.  You can then generate the reports you need to prove compliance. 

Put Patients First

MicroMain XM allows you to meet your healthcare maintenance needs so you can keep your focus where it belongs?on your patients. Use the software to:

  • Maintain buildings and physical assets for optimal patient care
  • Maintain rooms, lobbies, operating rooms and other areas
  • Keep power plant and electrical systems operating correctly and redundant back-up systems always ready in case of emergency
  • Provide adequate information to ensure quick turnover time
  • Respond to and track service requests from multiple sources
  • Address limited access to certain healthcare asset areas
  • Schedule and track resources across multiple shifts
  • Complete inspections
  • Ensure proper preventive maintenance?including identifying and assigning priority to Life/Safety and Critical Utilities
  • Project asset and maintenance needs based on current usage and anticipated growth
  • Use project management tools when taking on capital projects

Integrate with Clinical Engineering/Biomed

Unlike other facilities, healthcare organizations must meet additional needs related to clinical engineering/biomedical operations. These include:

  • Managing internal clinical assets and clinical assets owned by other departments
  • Identifying risk assessment of equipment based on a different set of criteria than facilities
  • Setting up preventive maintenance schedules appropriate to risk in the clinical engineering environment
  • Identifying equipment that may be HIPAA related and ensuring compliance when used or serviced
  • Maintaining test data and readings that are retrievable
  • Being able to easily associate and track specific maintenance activities with a specific piece of equipment
  • Managing multiple service contracts and warranties on a piece of equipment
  • Associating equipment and other assets with patient IDs to provide a patient usage audit trail

MicroMain XM for Healthcare was developed to meet your clinical engineering and healthcare facility maintenance management needs?in one simple system.

The database used by the maintenance and clinical engineering/biomedical departments includes the different information that each requires for work performance, for regulatory or internal-standards compliance, and for reports.

Assess Risks Accurately

The software?s risk assessment for healthcare equipment?often classified as Life/Safety, Critical Utilities, General, and Medical?offers independent scoring for both facilities and clinical applications. You also can utilize a date stamp for time of assessment and an identification field for the person last providing the assessment. Equipment that contains patient data is flagged to identify security issues related to HIPPA compliance so you can adjust your maintenance procedures accordingly.

If equipment falls under the Plan for Improvement (PFI), you can use the software to identify that and track when the equipment becomes compliant. MicroMain XM for Healthcare also allows you to identify the assets that are part of your Statement of Conditions (SOC) to ensure policies and procedures related to that equipment can be verified and checked easily.

Enhance Inspections

Using MicroMain XM for Healthcare, staff can complete inspections quickly and easily.  In addition to standard inspection points, the inspection forms include fields allowing for additional comments or instructions describing what to look for when evaluating the inspection point. 

You can also automatically create corrective work orders from failed inspection points. These new work orders include standard or user-defined actions that provide detailed instructions for correcting the inspection failure.

For many inspections using handheld devices, drop-down pick lists ensure that data is entered correctly.  Date and time of the inspection is also captured automatically. 

Improve Operations

MicroMain XM for Healthcare enables you to improve operations in many ways.

You can create work orders with a few mouse clicks. Send work orders to printers, Pocket PC devices, including to mobile phones, or via email. Manage multiple projects to meet deadlines, ensure cross-department communication, and keep costs within budget. 

You can also schedule preventive maintenance with easy calendar control and link to maintenance histories. Track assets, including current conditions of all healthcare equipment, areas, and vehicles. With this software, you can easily track inventory and issue purchase orders, too. 

Report on Compliance

Timely, accurate reports are critical in healthcare. Top-level reports need to go to administrators, and detailed reports are used within departments. 

Many specific reports and action plans?recorded and updated on a regular basis?are required for regulatory agencies, such as JCAHO. MicroMain XM for Healthcare provides the data you need to accurately report your compliance requirements. 

In addition to the 400-plus standard reports in MicroMain XM for Healthcare, you can use filtering options to produce a virtually unlimited number of reports.  You can also create the specific reports you need.

Integrate with Capital Planning, FM and more...

Additional software and modules in the MicroMain suite have been designed to integrate seamlessly and add even more functionality to help with healthcare needs.

MicroMain CM? simplifies capital planning for your organization?s long-term facility and asset needs. Use this capital planning and asset management (CPAM) software to track the lifecycle of capital planning for major repairs, renovations, replacements, and acquisitions.

MicroMain FM? uses data-enabled facility drawings for space planning, safety and emergency planning, move management, and additional facility management operations. Use this computer-aided facility management (CAFM) software to improve your facility management and reduce costs.

Add-on modules for MicroMain XM can increase the capabilities of the software. xmWEB? allows for Web-based service requests and xmMOBILE? give you the capability to complete inspections and maintenance work using handheld devices.
