		<description><![CDATA[Our partnership approach delivers improved equipment performance with reductions in overall costs. BCAS Biomed is a one-stop solution for maintenance, cleaning and decontamination.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #000000;"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-744" title="hospitalshealthcare4" src="http://bcasbiomed.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/hospitalshealthcare4.jpg" alt="hospitalshealthcare4" width="277" height="281" />Today&#8217;s Hospitals and Healthcare organisations provide a diverse range of specialist and acute care ranging from emergency treatment, critical care, complex and life saving surgery, diagnostic procedures and medical research.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The critical nature of these services means that the organisation must be confident that their medical devices are safe to use and fit for purpose. The legislative pressures on organisations are necessarily and justifiably high, but BCAS Biomed can help to ensure that you achieve compliance and that your equipment is maintained to the highest standard allowing you to concentrate on patient care.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">As an experienced operator of large NHS maintenance contracts, we can provide the following service packages:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #000000;">Statutory Checks</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #000000;">Preventative Maintenance</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #000000;">Fully Comprehensive Maintenance</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #000000;">Reactive maintenance</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #000000;">Validation and Testing</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Our medical equipment service programs are designed to be completely flexible enabling you to tailor them to your needs whilst delivering real cost benefits to your organisation.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">By utilising our HEMS database system we are able to offer a Device Lifecycle Management (DLM) program which integrates all the components required for managing a medical device throughout its lifecycle, from evaluation, procurement, maintenance and retirement.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Our aim is to provide the Trust with a one stop shop for maintaining its medical devices and other services such as decontamination, deep cleaning and VHP.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>BCAS Biomed can offer various levels of financial and technical audits. They range from the most basic asset inventory check to a full technical and financial audit to integrate with a device lifecycle maintenance program.<span id="more-480"></span></p>
<p>A Technical Audit is an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity designed to assess the effectiveness, efficiency and accuracy of an organization&#8217;s operations or resources. It encompasses the accumulation of device information prior to being placed on a contract or for the purposes of device lifecycle management. It assists an organisation in compiling a complete inventory of assets, condition and serviceability.</p>
<p>The basis of the technical audit is to record the make, model, serial number and designation of all equipment on site and to record the departments they are located. Processed data is uploaded into HEMS Database system and presented to the customer in excel format on a line by line basis.</p>
<p>The information presented from the Tech Audit allows the customer to establish an accurate starting point to form a maintenance policy for device management and provides crucial information such as condition and age for capital replacement programs.</p>
<p>BCAS Biomed utilises various techniques to integrate and manage equipment records within the database and on-site. The use of Bar-coded asset labels is the most common, while new technologies like RFID labelling brings a whole new dimension to asset management.</p>
