Data Mining Your CMMS: How to Convert Data into Knowledge” btn_size=”md” btn_bg_color=”#c53130″ btn_txt_color=”#fff9f0″ btn_text=”Session Information” modal_size=”medium” modal_style=”overlay-fade”]While the HTM field has decades of accumulated medical device-related maintenance data, it has very little knowledge from all of its associated maintenance activity. Extracting and converting such raw data into knowledge is precisely the goal of modern scientific study and typically requires the use of well-established inferential statistical tools. The use of such tools is also how any scientific or technical discipline advances and evolves.[/ultimate_modal]

Through the Lens of Lean Healthcare Management” btn_size=”md” btn_bg_color=”#c53130″ btn_txt_color=”#fff9f0″ btn_text=”Session Information” modal_size=”medium” modal_style=”overlay-fade”]HTM professionals play an important role in patient safety through successful application of corrective or preventive medical equipment maintenance practices. All too often we are reluctant to take a step back to assess our data to define root causes of work order requests, delays in work order completion, PM needs and resource management. This class will evaluate the type and criticality of work being requested, the barriers to work order completion and how an effective 15-minute morning huddle can set the pace of the whole day for your clinical engineering team.[/ultimate_modal]
