Technological advancements serve an important role in the maintenance management of healthcare facilities. For instance, one of the most advantageous applications in technology for maintenance operations is the inclusion of a computer maintenance management software (CMMS) system.
While to some the advantages of adopting new technologies may seem obvious, others may still find it difficult to adapt to change, according to an article on the FacilityCare website.
