Computerized maintenance management system a facility safety tool

A CMMS can help ensure that all environmental services staff members are trained to the same standards of cleaning

Using CMMS, facility managers also can schedule preventive maintenance to pass safety inspections under the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ rules. 

Healthcare settings also demand a high completion rate for maintenance work orders to ensure safety and patient comfort. Using CMMS, facility managers can quickly track work orders and preventative maintenance.
