Maintenance Management

Keep Every Asset Running

Care18 turns equipment upkeep into structured service tickets that move from Open and Assigned through In progress to Resolved and Closed. Preventive schedules keep biomedical and facility assets serviced on time, engineers see their workload clearly, and every intervention is recorded against the asset's history for the next review.

Introduction

What is Maintenance Management in Care18?

Maintenance Management in Care18 covers every serviceable asset, from biomedical equipment to facility fixtures. Faults are raised as tickets with a defined path — Open, Assigned, In progress, Resolved and Closed — so nothing is tracked on paper or passed informally between departments. Preventive schedules sit alongside reactive work, generating service tasks before equipment fails and keeping uptime visible to the teams who depend on it. Each intervention is written to the asset record, giving biomedical engineers and managers a complete service history for planning, audits and replacement decisions.

  • Service tickets with Open, Assigned, In progress, Resolved and Closed
  • Preventive schedules that trigger service before equipment fails
  • Biomedical and facility assets in one register
  • Engineer assignment with workload visibility
  • Complete service history written to each asset record

Key Benefits

  • Higher Equipment Uptime

    Planned servicing and clear ticket turnaround keep critical machines available, so departments plan around fewer unexpected breakdowns in daily operations.

  • Traceable Repairs

    Every intervention is recorded against the asset, giving engineers and managers a complete history for audits and replacement planning.

  • Fewer Paper Chases

    Faults raised as tickets replace register books and verbal handovers, so requests do not disappear between shifts.

  • Budget Confidence

    Review service history per asset when deciding whether to repair, service more often or replace equipment entirely.

Core Features

Key Features

  • Service Tickets

    Raise faults as tickets that move from Open to Assigned, In progress, Resolved and Closed with clear ownership at every stage.

  • Preventive Schedules

    Set service intervals per asset so preventive tasks are generated before equipment fails rather than after a breakdown in routine operation.

  • Asset Register

    Maintain biomedical and facility assets with model, location, warranty and status details in one searchable register for quick reference.

  • Engineer Assignment

    Assign tickets to in-house engineers or external technicians, with workload visible to supervisors before new work is allocated across teams.

  • Service History

    Every repair, part replacement and scheduled service is written to the asset record for full lifecycle visibility over time.

  • Uptime Visibility

    See which assets are under service, awaiting parts or repeatedly failing, by department and location, at a glance for every team that depends on them.

How it works

Maintenance Workflow in Care18

From raised fault to closed ticket, every step is owned, recorded and linked to the asset.

  1. 01

    Fault Raised

    Staff raise a ticket from the asset record or ward, noting the problem and location so it enters the queue immediately.

  2. 02

    Assigned

    A supervisor assigns an engineer or technician, moving the ticket from Open to Assigned with a priority.

  3. 03

    Work In Progress

    The assigned engineer starts work, records observations and parts used, and updates the ticket as work continues.

  4. 04

    Resolved & Verified

    Work is marked Resolved once the asset is back in service and the requesting department confirms it.

  5. 05

    Closed & Recorded

    The ticket is Closed with the full history written to the asset record for future service planning and audits.

Security & Compliance

Security Built Into Every Layer

Hospital data deserves enterprise-grade protection. Care18 is designed with security at its core — access control, encryption, auditability and recoverability.

  • Role-Based Access Control

    Every user sees only what their role permits, down to the field and report.

  • Encrypted Data

    Encryption in transit and at rest for records, attachments and backups.

  • Audit Trails

    Immutable, timestamped logs of who changed what, when and from where.

  • Secure Authentication

    Password policy, multi-factor options and session control for sensitive actions.

  • Cloud Backups

    Automated, encrypted backup schedules with retention policies you control.

  • Disaster Recovery

    Documented recovery procedures, standby infrastructure and restore testing.

Use Cases

Who Benefits

  • Biomedical Departments

    Tracks ventilators, monitors and theatre equipment through inspection, repair and preventive service cycles across the hospital.

  • Diagnostic Equipment

    Keeps imaging and lab machines on planned service intervals with fault tickets handled in between.

  • Facility Assets

    Covers lifts, generators, HVAC and ward fixtures with the same ticket path as medical equipment.

  • Multi-Location Chains

    Gives each site a local ticket queue while management reviews service activity across the group.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Tickets move through Open when raised, Assigned to an engineer, In progress during work, Resolved once the asset is back in service, and Closed after final confirmation, giving every request a clear path.
