HTM departments have the skills to do so much more than just clinical equipment maintenance. They can increase their value to hospitals by taking the lead on purchasing decisions and vendor negotiations, service contract management, cybersecurity, device integration, data analytics (e.g., equipment usage, cost of ownership, vendor service comparisons), clinical equipment-related strategic planning, and project management.
