NEW ECRI-AIMS Equipment Management System

ECRI-AIMSTM  is a new system for managing all aspects of technology-based assets found in European and International healthcare institutions. It is a true web-browser application, enabling the data stored centrally by the hospital to be accessed simply via a web-browser connected to the hospital intranet. There is no client software to install and ECRI-AIMS is therefore straightforward to set up and can be used by personnel at all levels at any time.

The system provides a complete resource for managing equipment inventory information, work orders, service contracts, spare parts, purchasing and stock-control in a single, secure, comprehensive yet easy-to-use package.

ECRI-AIMS has been specifically developed to meet the needs of European healthcare by ECRI Institute, in partnership with Phoenix Data Systems Inc. In addition to the main system components, there are more than ten optional modules available. This means that you can customise the system to meet your specific requirements without paying for functionality that you don't need.
 
Equipment users need easy access to information on devices for which they are responsible without the direct involvement of Clinical Engineering staff. With the optional EasyNet PlusTM, equipment users can raise and progress requests for service and also view equipment lists and history information - simply via a web-browser.

  • Among the additional modules currently available are:
  • Parts & Purchasing
  • Service Contract Management
  • Performance & Quality
  • Advanced Preventive Maintenance
    PDA
  • Resource Management

 

The NEW ECRI-AIMS Inspection Templates module enables the production of fully customisable Model- or Equipment Type-Specific checklists that can be attached to Work Orders and either completed on-screen or on a PDA.
All recorded values and pass/fail results are saved with the Work Order and can also be exported

New modules to be released very soon include:

  • Equipment Library module which, like ECRI-AIMS, is fully web browser based and fully intergrates with the main system.
  • Custom Report Writer module which will enable users to easily create reports using a simple MS Access style wizard.

Both of these modules are expected to be released in the first queater of 2009.

 

ECRI-AIMS is a highly configurable, state-of-the-art system. This, coupled with ECRI Institute's experience of healthcare technology over more than 40 years, provides the optimum solution to the challenge of effective and efficient technology management.
