Year-End Budget Strategy: How JumpTeams Help You Hit Preventive Maintenance and Compliance Targets
As the fiscal year comes to a close, CFOs and Operations leaders of healthcare organizations are under pressure to meet compliance goals while making the most of remaining budgets. This is the time when preventive maintenance, strategic spending, and flexible healthcare technology management solutions like InterMed’s JumpTeams can deliver measurable impact.
The Budget Crunch Meets Compliance Pressure
Hospital expenses rose 17.5% between 2020 and 2022, and that upward trend has held steady. In response, many facilities are seeking high-impact ways to protect operations, maintain standards, and avoid compliance risks.
● Unspent funds: Many hospitals face "use-it-or-lose-it" scenarios with operational funds. Redirecting those dollars into healthcare technology management (HTM) services delivers measurable ROI through completed PMs and stronger survey performance.
● HTM staffing gaps: Many HTM leaders are battling staffing shortages and seasonal backlogs in Q4, making supplemental support essential to meeting year-end PM and compliance targets.
● Survey readiness: Year-end safety or better known as environment of care (EOC) audits often flag missed PMs and incomplete documentation. JumpTeams help healthcare systems rapidly close gaps, supporting inventory validation, compliance audits, and alignment with Joint Commission, Medicare, and DNV standards.
