Healthcare: Program Details

Today more than ever, it is critical that healthcare providers manage every budget line item. The maintenance of healthcare equipment assets is an area that offers a tremendous potential for improvement. The EPS Equipment Maintenance Management Program provides an alternative to high priced, restrictive vendor service agreements. Our program saves money, provides broader coverage, and gives you the freedom to utilize your preferred service provider for each service event. Unlike typical service contracts offered by manufacturers and third party service vendors, EPS provides a Total Asset Management Program that serves only the needs of your organization. Our program is designed to ensure your organization gains the greatest possible return for every dollar invested in equipment assets.

Case Study
Healthcare System in the Northeast
Program Inception: April 2005
This healthcare system is comprised of four hospitals, ten primary care centers, seven long-term care facilities, six diagnostic and treatment centers, and many other healthcare sites. With over 15,000 employees it has well established itself as the leading healthcare provider of its region.

Challenge:
The system was facing a tighter budget due to rising costs and lowered federal reimbursements.
The system had no real way to manage and keep track of all the different vendor service contracts throughout all facilities.

Solution:
The EPS Program was able to immediately impact the bottom line with over a million dollars in annual savings. Our proprietary online data management tool, Remi Online, was able to provide real time access 24/7x365 to all equipment items over multiple locations and facilities.
