Situational challenges

In early 2022, Riverside Health System began the process of selecting a new provider to elevate its clinical
engineering program. The health system needed immediate help preparing for a DNV accreditation survey,
identifying and building a service delivery plan for all medical devices, and addressing outstanding work
orders. At the same time, Riverside required any new provider to stand up a strong management team, hire
top-tier biomedical technicians, and implement a clear, actionable plan to meet
its goals

Intelas’ team immediately understood our needs, developed a plan to staff our facilities, and set up an inventory management program for all medical devices. Their thorough, methodical process and skills not only helped us with a DNV survey, but has given us the confidence that they will continue to provide our patients and staff with the highest level of service possible.
