Healthy as Tech Episode 15 - How Children’s Wisconsin Got 1,500 PM Schedules Back on Track With ServiceNow

Optimum Healthcare IT Season 2 Episode 15

When your preventive maintenance (PM) slips, it’s not just compliance at risk; it’s patient lives.

For clinical engineering teams, keeping PM schedules up to date is critical. But when your scheduling system can’t handle grace periods, floating schedules, audit-ready reporting, and location-based requirements, things can spiral fast.

In this episode of Healthy as Tech, Natalie Tollefson, Sr. Director of Customer Success at Optimum Healthcare IT, sits down with Ann Rovito, Director of Clinical Engineering at Children’s Wisconsin, and Shelby Johns, ServiceNow Principal Advisory Consultant, CDM-FSM at Optimum, to share how they used a custom ServiceNow CMMS app to get over 15,000 PM schedules back on track for Children’s Wisconsin and streamline new model intake and compliance processes.

In this discussion, we explore:

  • Smarter fixed and floating schedules with automatic updates for grace periods and location rules
  • A faster, audit-ready process for adding new device models with built-in risk assessments
  • The benefits of having full visibility of your clinical and IT assets on one platform
  • How to design a CMMS that fits your needs with a ServiceNow partner who knows clinical engineering

If your organization already uses the ServiceNow platform for IT or facilities but hasn’t extended it to clinical engineering, this talk is for you.
