Emeritus, a leader in hospital equipment servicing, is calling attention to the financial drain caused by reactive maintenance. Hospitals that wait for equipment to fail before acting are facing higher costs, repeated service calls, and prolonged disruptions to patient care.

Industry data reveals that:

Reactive repairs can cost up to 50% more due to overtime labor and rush parts

Repeat failures occur more frequently when root causes go unaddressed

Emergency repairs often require longer bed downtime, impacting patient throughput

Emeritus offers preventative maintenance programs designed to minimize these losses by scheduling regular inspections and servicing before breakdowns occur. Their plans include predictive analysis, parts replacement forecasting, and full repair history tracking.

"A broken bed is more than a maintenance issue; it’s a revenue blocker," said a representative from Emeritus. "Preventative service helps hospitals avoid unplanned downtime, increase efficiency, and protect their bottom line."

By maintaining equipment in advance, facilities reduce the risk of delayed surgeries, backed-up ER admissions, and operational bottlenecks. Clients who transition to Emeritus’s preventative model report higher bed availability and greater staff productivity.

Emeritus encourages healthcare providers to treat bed maintenance not as an afterthought, but as a core component of throughput strategy and financial planning.
