Implementing and maintaining a Preventative Maintenance program for education and hospital-based simulation centers is essential to ensure reliable simulation delivery. Creating and implementing such initiatives can be a daunting task but is achievable if approached in a systematic way. In this workshop we link usage, needs, equipment and vendor documentation. Learn what needs to be considered for each stage to develop a short, mid and long term maintenance plan. This knowledge will lead to creating a comprehensive preventative maintenance program that will meet the accreditation requirements and industry standards of best practice.
