4 Benefits of Onsite Equipment Mapping for Your Healthcare Facility

Onsite Equipment Mapping is critical to FacilityONE's facility management software onboarding process. After transforming your healthcare facility's floor plans and/or blueprints into F1 MAPS interactive maps, an experienced FacilityONE Onsite Equipment Mapping Team member will travel to your facility.

While onsite, they will canvas all levels of each building, including basements and roofs, to take pictures of each piece of equipment, including but not limited to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing. Critical information like model and serial numbers is also collected. Choosing to have the Onsite Equipment Mapping team come to your healthcare facility during the onboarding process provides significant benefits, for example:

Improved Accuracy of Equipment Locations and Information
Onsite Equipment Mapping takes the guesswork out of equipment locations and information. The FacilityONE team canvases entire facilities and maps locations in F1 MAPS to their exact place. This way, new and veteran facility management team members can always know exactly where assets are and have quick access to related information. 

Increased Knowledge of Onsite Equipment Inventory
With every piece of equipment photographed and mapped in F1 MAPS, the facility management team at your hospital or healthcare system has enhanced knowledge of equipment inventory. They can quickly and easily see how many of each type of on-site equipment and check associated work orders and warranties.

Ability to Easily Share Facility Information with New Team Members
When new employees join our facility management team, they will be able to have quick access to all the equipment and information they need to do their jobs effectively. Instead of relying on other team members to share essential knowledge verbally, they can use the UNITY Solutions Suite and F1 MAPS as learning tools and on-the-job resources.

Quicker Emergency Response Times
During an emergency in a healthcare facility, every second counts. Knowing exactly where specific pieces of equipment are within a facility is critical. For example, during a power outage, facility management teams need to be able to locate backup systems as soon as possible. Accurate equipment information can increase the speed at which an informed action plan can be executed. 

With years of expertise in onboarding healthcare facilities of all sizes, each member of FacilityONE's Onsite Equipment Mapping team can canvas, photograph, and document approximately 100,000 square feet of assets and equipment daily. When added to your facility's F1 MAPS interactive maps, facility management teams have a potent tool that brings along the above four benefits.
