Journal Article

2017
Overview
Several questions on alternative equipment maintenance (AEM) plan are answered. If your risk assessment results in placing certain equipment in an AEM, you may change either the manufacturer's scheduled maintenance activities or frequencies (or both) as long as your risk assessment indicates that these changes do not reduce the safety of equipment and that the changes are based on accepted standards of practice. Changes like this should only be made with corresponding changes in hospital policy. Hospitals should also have (and follow) robust policies that address how to capture equipment that was unavailable (\"in use\" or \"non-locatable\") during its scheduled maintenance window. The Joint Commission and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services allow hospitals to consider documented service histories from sources other than the hospital when conducting the risk assessment to determine what equipment to be included in an AEM.
