Cloud-based tools can boost on-the-ground compliance

When most people think about hospitals or other healthcare facilities, the first thing that comes to mind is providers and patients. People get injured or sick, and physicians treat them so they can feel better.

One critical and often overlooked aspect of care is the safety of the facility itself, and the dedicated professionals who manage the maintenance and operations. For them, ensuring a safe, healthy, and, here's the big one—compliant—environment is a top priority.

But, maintaining compliance for a large medical facility can feel like a tall task, especially when you consider the elements involved—patient safety and quality of care, legal guidelines, data security, and the impact of the efficient functioning of the entire healthcare organization. Without the right tools to stay organized, streamline operations and communication, and maximize resources, your operational professionals might feel like they need their own MD just to keep on top of everything.

Luckily, the right solution can provide teams with a single access point for key maintenance, asset, rounding information and systems, and compliance.

Why is it time to upgrade how you approach compliance?

If you’re not using a centralized tool to manage your compliance activities, you risk the very health and safety of the physicians, staff, and patients your healthcare facility is trying to look out for.

In healthcare facilities, compliance with regulatory agencies is crucial to ensure the safety and reliability of critical equipment. Regular inspections are required to minimize or prevent equipment failures, which could pose a risk to individuals under care.

While there is no mandatory software for reporting compliance to these agencies, utilizing facilities management software can significantly alleviate pain points, such as the cumbersome task of tracking inspection dates and times for numerous assets or buildings.

Compliance (and compliance efficiency) starts with your toolkit

Creating a compliance program and ensuring your healthcare facilities are up to standards can be less challenging than you think, and it begins with user-friendly tools.

A solution that is cloud-based and available on a mobile app can assist with risk assessments, preventive maintenance workflows and compliance code tracking. Using mobile tools means having the ability to more reliably and efficiently document security rounds and incidents to create safe, secure patient environments to manage risk more effectively.

The right solution should help:

• Make rounds more efficient (via key checkpoints, location-based check-ins, voice-to-text work orders, etc.)
• Improve incident management
• Streamline incident documentation
• Better track your security team’s activities
