Harnessing AI to Enhance Efficiency In Healthcare Technology Management
Healthcare Technology Management (HTM) is evolving rapidly, and artificial intelligence (AI) is at the forefront of this transformation. By integrating AI into our CMMS, we’re exploring new ways to enhance operations, improve efficiency, and deliver better outcomes for healthcare facilities. These advancements reflect our dedication to staying ahead of industry challenges and supporting the evolving needs of our clients. From predictive maintenance to advanced compliance solutions, AI is helping reshape our approach—and this is only the beginning.
We spoke with Dan Miles, Sr. Director of Technology Systems, for Crothall Healthcare Technology Solutions, to explore how AI has the potential to transform healthcare technology management and how it could shape Crothall’s future programs to better serve our clients.
Q: Can AI help Crothall enhance its CMMS for healthcare facilities?
Dan: AI is enabling us to take our CMMS to a new level, beyond traditional work order and asset management. By integrating AI, we’re providing tools that help healthcare facilities operate more efficiently, proactively address challenges, and make data-driven decisions. This transformation empowers every user, from technicians to executives, to focus on improving patient care while reducing operational burdens.
Q: Predictive maintenance is a big focus for healthcare. How do you see Crothall applying AI in this area?
Dan: Predictive maintenance is one of the most impactful ways AI can benefit our clients. By analyzing historical data from medical devices and maintenance records, AI predicts potential equipment failures before they occur. This allows facilities to proactively address issues, reducing downtime and preventing unplanned disruptions. It’s a game-changer for maintaining critical equipment reliability.
Q: How can AI improve work order management for Crothall’s clients?
Dan: AI-powered work order management optimizes task prioritization and routing. By considering urgency, technician availability, skill sets, and location, we can ensure that the right person addresses the right issue at the right time. This approach significantly improves response times and operational efficiency, helping our clients keep their facilities running smoothly.
Q: Asset tracking is critical for healthcare facilities. What role does AI play here?
Dan: AI, combined with real-time location systems (RTLS), enhances asset tracking by providing insights into equipment usage patterns and identifying underutilized resources. This allows us to help clients make smarter decisions about purchasing versus renting equipment and optimize the use of existing assets. It’s all about ensuring resources are where they’re needed most.
Q: Compliance is always a priority. How can HTM leveraging AI to support this?
Dan: Compliance is an area where AI can have an immediate and measurable impact. Our CMMS uses AI to automate routine compliance checks, track maintenance schedules. These capabilities not only reduce administrative burdens but also ensure our clients are always prepared for inspections without last-minute scrambling.
Q: Budgeting and cost management are challenges for every healthcare facility. How does AI support these goals??
Dan: AI’s ability to analyze historical data enables accurate predictive models for maintenance costs, labor expenses, and capital planning. This helps our clients forecast budgets more effectively and align spending with operational priorities. For healthcare facilities working on tight margins, this is a crucial advantage.
Q: How can AI enhance training and knowledge sharing for technicians?
Dan: AI-driven tools in our CMMS analyze how technicians interact with the system, identifying skill gaps and recommending tailored training modules. Additionally, we’re building an AI-powered knowledge base that provides technicians with quick access to relevant troubleshooting information. These features help our teams solve problems more effectively and improve service delivery.
Q: What’s your goal for AI at Crothall?
Dan: We’re focused on integrating AI into more areas of our program, from real-time anomaly detection to enhanced risk mitigation strategies. Our goal is to continuously innovate, ensuring that our clients benefit from cutting-edge solutions that improve efficiency, reliability, and patient outcomes. AI is a critical part of where we’re headed, and we’re excited to lead the way in healthcare technology management.
Dan’s Final Thoughts:
Crothall’s commitment to innovation ensures we remain at the forefront of healthcare technology management.
“By integrating AI into our CMMS, we’re helping clients solve today’s challenges while preparing for tomorrow’s demands. From predictive maintenance to compliance and beyond, these advancements position us—and our clients—for sustained success.”
