For the convenience of health care customers, TSP services are bundled into partnership contracts that progressively build upon each other with additional levels of support and value.

These partnerships are designed to be customized to flexibly meet the unique service requirements of individual customers.

Capital Asset Protection Partnership (CAPP)

TSP's Capital Asset Protection Partnership (CAPP) program is designed to ensure that your most critical medical equipment — imaging, ultrasound, sterilizers, and laboratory equipment — is operating at peak performance. These items are the highest revenue generating assets of an institution and are the most technically demanding and expensive to maintain.

This program has resulted in average customer savings of 23% over manufacturer service contracts.

Specific services may be customized to meet your unique requirements and may include management, administration, and advisory services such as:

• Centralized asset management, including equipment information tracking and reporting using the HEMS™ system (maintenance history, parts usage, etc.)
• Preventative maintenance planning, scheduling, and execution
• Coordination of repairs and associated documentation
• Guaranteed cost
• 24x7 emergency response

TSP has been providing CAPP services to health care organizations since 1992.

Clinical Engineering

TSP Clinical Engineers work within the scope of your Partnership Program to ensure that the most appropriate technology is acquired and effectively managed to achieve the full value of the asset to your organization. Clinical Engineers draw upon their deep expertise in clinical systems management practices and health care technology to help you.

TSP contracts with ECRI Institute to provide the SELECTplus program to contracted hospitals to provide intelligence, best practices, and safety information applied to the planning and management phase:

• Assess new technologies, including clinical efficacy, alternatives, vendors, safety, support requirements, pricing, needs impact, and financing requirements
• Budget for new capital equipment: review budget requests, evaluate current equipment status, verify pricing, prioritize and assess technology trends
• Systematically acquire new clinical equipment: develop acquisition procedures, define equipment specifications, administer Request for Proposals, evaluate bids, and support testing, installation, training and service planning
• Provide education on safety issues, new technology, regulations and standards, and facilities engineering
• Support compliance to regulations and standards: participate on committees (environment of care, safety, capital equipment, equipment standardization), consult on compliance standards and regulations, advise on facilities alterations related to technology, provide equipment problem mitigation and consulting
• Assure safety and manage risks: ensure compliance (Safe Medical Devices Act, Joint Commission, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and insurance guidelines), review recall notices, and investigate device related incidents
