  • The need for technicians is accelerating.

    “Employment of medical equipment repairers is projected to grow 17 percent from 2021 to 2031, much faster than the average for all occupations. About 7,700 openings for medical equipment repairers are projected each year, on average, over the decade. Many of those openings are expected to result from the need to replace workers who transfer to different occupations or exit the labor force, such as to retire.”

  • How will you meet the increasing challenge of hiring more talent and decreasing time to effectiveness?

    “We conclude that a great majority of laboratory and medical equipment can be put back into service without importing spare parts and using only basic knowledge. Capacity building in resource-poor settings should first focus on a limited set of knowledge; a body of knowledge that we call the biomedical technician’s assistant (BTA). This data set suggests that a supported BTA could place 66% of the out-of-service laboratory and medical equipment in their hospital back into service.”

  • How are your teams sharing their knowledge? How is your organization keeping and leveraging its valuable "tribal" knowledge?

    Field teams face challenges sharing knowledge with increasing difficulty brought on by the wave of baby boomer retirements.

    Tribal knowledge is being lost with the wave of baby boomer retirements.

    Technicians who can more easily access information are more confident.

    AI powered tools help reduce the experience and knowledge gap.

  • The most successful organizations leverage the right tools to share knowledge, reduce their knowledge gaps, and quickly up-skill new hires.

    Retirements and talent shortages make it difficult to maintain the right skills.

    Lower performing technicians cost 86% more than top performers.

    Service leaders lack the ability to up-skill technicians quickly.

    Service organizations need technology that allows them to share knowledge effectively.

    Successful teams leverage technology that reduces the knowledge gap.
