    Importante:
    Starting with the Xanadu release, Healthcare Computerized Maintenance Management System is being prepared for future deprecation. It will be hidden and no longer activated on new instances but will continue to be supported. For details on the deprecation process, see the Deprecation Process [KB0867184] article in the Now Support Knowledge Base.

    To use maintenance and servicing workflows or inventory and management workflows, please see Clinical Device Management.

    Scenario: An issue is identified with a medical device in a hospital and a corrective maintenance needs to be performed. A organization contributor for medical devices submits the medical device issue form from the customer service portal of the hospital. In the issue form, the contributor enters the requester organization, medical device, its model, and other issue details. When a medical device issue case is created in the ServiceNow instance, a clinical engineer who acts as a fulfiller with the sn_hcls_cmms.clinical_engineer role can work on the case.

    The following graphic shows how the Healthcare CMMS application is used for resolving the medical device issue as discussed in the scenario.
