Service Requester

Service Requester can play a major role in ensuring a safe environment of care while increasing efficiencies by optimizing use of productive assets. Our solution ensures those in need of maintenance are serviced accordingly or retired and replaced, and those needed for patient care are easily requested and delivered in a timely manner. Service Requester integrates with St. Croix Systems' Asset Management solutions to provide expanded capabilities for two-way communication between the requester and the department from whom the service is being requested. This two-way communication includes dispatching, and service, equipment and work order record viewing. To extend the paths for communication, several notification tools can be integrated with Service Requester including email, pagers, and mobile phone messaging. Communication is on-going until the request is fulfilled or the repair work order is closed. A prompt response to requests for service and assets not only drives workforce and patient care efficiencies but also leads to a safe and quality environment of care.
