Learn the essentials of compliant health care facilities maintenance and operations (M&O) while getting up-to-speed on the industry’s best practice reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) strategy with this two-book bundle. Ideal for facilities managers working to integrate RCM into their health care asset management program, the bundle offers a detailed look at both traditional maintenance practices and leading-edge RCM strategies for health care facilities and equipment.
Maintenance Management for Health Care Facilities is recognized by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services as a leading guideline for physical plant equipment maintenance, while ASHE’s Reliability-Centered Maintenance Guide is considered the industry-recognized best practice for ensuring reliable, 24/7 operation of high-risk assets. These publications are offered together to aid those in the field looking to strengthen M&O practices while transitioning to RCM as their asset management program’s primary M&O strategy.
Maintenance Management for Health Care Facilities: A maintenance philosophy should ensure a safe, functional environment by maximizing equipment maintenance, providing essential documentation and easing management and cost by minimizing required maintenance and documentation time. This book describes procedures for a cost-effective maintenance approach that will provide the maintenance level needed under normal operational circumstances to keep equipment operating properly, safely and economically. The process described may be supplemented by as many minor procedures as needed to keep each device performing within reasonable limits and to meet the requirements of the Joint Commission for periodic testing of facility equipment.
ASHE Reliability-Centered Maintenance Guide: Reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) is a maintenance strategy that analyzes structures, systems and assets (SSAs), defines its true design function (i.e., what it is supposed to do for the organization) and determines its risk and/or criticality to the organization and operation of the facility. This guidebook seeks to help health care facilities managers start down the path to a successful RCM program. It reviews the basics of RCM, details the steps involved in planning and implementing an RCM program in a health care facility, provides the knowledge and tools needed to navigate through that process and highlights features that will lead to a successful and productive program.
