The cost of medical equipment downtime could be astronomical if proper care and upkeep are not followed or is pushed aside. That’s why having a preventative maintenance plan in place with a certified biomedical equipment repair company will minimize the financial impact of nonfunctioning or unplanned machinery breakdowns.
The following are just a few problematic expenses you may face if your facility’s medical equipment fails.
Equipment Downtime
Your equipment’s downtime can prove to be financially devastating, even if it’s only for a few hours. Projections for the loss of revenue and reimbursements vary somewhat from one machine to the next; however, in Syracuse facilities, one can expect to lose thousands. These losses are particularly alarming in light of recent reductions to Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates.
Idle Staff
When your equipment breaks down, technicians and other staff members are still on the clock. Besides missing out on reimbursements as mentioned above, facilities must continue to pay medical professionals, even if work gets left undone from equipment being out of order.
Scheduling Backlogs
Even after your equipment gets back up and in running order, the problems faced from the downtime isn’t over. Scheduling snafus are often prompted by downtime and could lead to further delays in treatment, which results in additional losses.
Long-Term Reputation Damage
Facilities that regularly experience and suffer from downtime may see a reduction in patient satisfaction over time. This can have a discernible impact on long-term revenue and reputation.
