Advocate Aurora Health’s CMMS Optimization Journey Best Practices and Lessons Learned | Lunch & Learn

In today’s healthcare facilities departments, the computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) is the primary tool for organizing and assigning work, inventorying assets, documenting compliance, and measuring performance. After their merger, the facilities maintenance department at Advocate Aurora Health knew that a high-performing CMMS was critical to their future success, and so they began the daunting journey toward CMMS optimization. The journey encompassed choosing a new and modern CMMS solution, standardizing their disparate data and business processes, and developing governance models to optimize the capabilities of the new CMMS. Whether you’ve been on the same CMMS for years and have no plans to change or are considering switching, the lessons they learned and best practices they developed can benefit your department.

Learner Objectives:
