About MediMizer and PartsSource

MediMizer is an independent biomedical and facilities software company that developed the leading CMMS or “computerized maintenance management software” used for clinical engineering, biomedical engineering, facilities, environmental departments in hospitals as well as the biomedical service organizations that service hospitals.

PartsSource is the world’s largest provider of medical replacement products and services, with over 4 million parts and services that extend across more than 3,000 suppliers in the industry. PartsSource partners with leading healthcare organizations to maximize medical equipment uptime and utilization through the only comprehensive managed service designed to empower clinical engineering leaders with the people, processes and technology to achieve high-performance HTM.

Why have MediMizer & PartsSource decided to partner together?

Clinical Engineers and Technicians can spend significant amount of time during their day shopping for parts.  To streamline the part sourcing and purchasing, MediMizer and PartsSource have created a Lite integration between the MediMizer CMMS and PartsSource.com.  This integration provides your biomed technicians with a simple, single-click access to easily find and source parts and equipment they need to repair and improve equipment uptime.

What is the Lite integration search feature and what are the key benefits it provides?

The Lite integration provides clinical engineers with easy access to the parts and services from within MediMizer’s work-order or inventory features.   By providing integration from MediMizer to PartsSource.com, your biomed department can:

How does the Lite Integration differ from the standard integration?

The Lite integration provides a simple search capability between systems without any IT or connectivity challenges.  Customers using the Lite Integration will get an immediate pathway into the search experience in PartsSource.com. The standard integration is a much more robust integration designed for enterprise customers that would like to connect the CMMS more extensively and PartsSource products.   The standard integration supports SSO (Single Sign-On) and can share additional data sets including part cost and purchasing data between systems for advanced reporting but requires additional IT resources to implement.

I understand that my PartsSource rep can help me negotiate better pricing on parts I need. What do I need to do to get this assistance?

To help ensure that you get the best possible pricing for the parts you are purchasing, MediMizer has created reports that you can send to your PartsSource rep and obtain their help negotiating the price. You can access these reports and next steps information by going to the “Parts” section and clicking on the “PartsSource” submenu.

Do I need to create a registration with PartsSource purchase products? Is this process time consuming?

Technicians can search the PartsSource.com catalog for products without registering.  However, to purchase products, technicians will need to register.  Registering with PartsSource is fast and easy.  Technicians can register with us once you click on the quick link in MediMizer or by going to the PartsSource website here: https://www.partssource.com/register. You simply insert your basic contact information and you are all set.

Does it cost anything to register with PartsSource?

No, it is completely free to register with PartsSource.

I just returned from Dreamforce.  Dreamforce is hosted in San Francisco and was attended by 150,000 people interested in cloud computing.  I attended a number of sessions which opened my eyes to new development.  One session was on phone and device apps.  The message was make them small and an app is not a tiny version of a computer.  Apps need to meet just the immediate customer need.
Dreamforce was about programming in the cloud.  Speaking to one of our hospitals about the cloud, the equipment manager said, "we just invested 35 million dollars in our storage, I don't think they are looking to move data off site".
MediMizer, Inc. has polled hospitals many years, and we have found up to now, Microsoft SQL Server is the preferred method of storing data.  Sites also have Oracle but find SQL more affordable.
More and more, our users are storing data on virtual servers.  I am wondering if SQL and virtual servers will become more like the cloud in allowing secure commands to cross the entire structure, making it easier to gather data from many sources without compromising security.
MediMizer will be keeping an eye on new storage technology and how we can take advantage of it.
