Healthcare Computerized Maintenance Management System - Medical devices out-of-service scenario
Use the Healthcare Computerized Maintenance Management System (Healthcare CMMS) application for setting medical devices to out-of-service and creating disposal work orders for them.
To use maintenance and servicing workflows or inventory and management workflows, please see Clinical Device Management.
Scenario: A hospital needs to discontinue or replace an old medical device with new model. Due to a fault leading it to be beyond repair, the medical device being replaced needs to be set to out-of-service. A device organization contributor who acts as requester with the sn_hcls_cmms.device_service_org_contributor role works at the hospital location submits the out-of-service request form from a customer service portal of the hospital. In the out-of-service request form, the contributor enters the medical device model and medical device details such as requested by, requested organization, device model, device, requester comments for out-of-service medical device, short description. After submitting the out-of-service request form, a medical device out-of-service case is created in the ServiceNow instance associated with the customer service portal of the hospital. To resolve the case, the Healthcare CMMS workflow initiates a playbook configured for the medical device out-of-service cases. The case gets assigned to a clinical engineer who acts as a fulfiller with the sn_hcls_cmms.clinical_engineer role.
- Uses the Workspace to view the medical device out-of-service case.
- In Workspace, views the complete information about the medical device and its model from the Details tab.
- Selects the Playbook tab to view all the necessary case-related information.
The layout of a playbook enables clinical engineers to focus on the steps they’re responsible for, while providing full visibility into the end-to-end process life cycle.
