      ab: Responding to information has become the most critical aspect of technology management. With ROMSYS we gain significant ability to exercise this ideology. Accessing reports in real-time provides instant knowledge of any aspect concerning equipment support. This kind of resource can give management the confidence of having a system that virtually takes care of itself. Managers can spend their time making informed decisions rather than wasting it searching for information. The philosophy of doing only what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, becomes reality when systems such as PM Interval Adjustment, PM Index, and % PM Effectiveness are utilized. These elements of ROMSYS also prevent the tying up of expensive expertise (biomedical equipment technicians) in mundane activities that are primarily ineffective. The system helps to enhance the pride of work among BMETs by elevating the importance of the PM inspection. The health care facility stands to gain from a system that monitors itself and continues to adjust to improve the process. This is the fundamental principle of total quality management, where the goal is to improve patient outcome while being cost-effective.
