Here, we list five computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) rated highly by Software Advice users in healthcare, or are rated highly and include features useful in healthcare.
1. Software Advice: 5 Highly Rated
Healthcare CMMS Systems
Trends and best practices from the industry
2. Just like many other industries that use computerized maintenance management
software, healthcare facilities must track and maintain critical equipment. Should
these assets fail, the consequences could impact employees and patients alike.
Using software keeps these machines running longer with regular maintenance
schedules and can help pass audits from accreditation organizations, such as the
Joint Commission. For those looking to purchase a CMMS for their healthcare
organization, we’ve listed five systems—the first three are highly rated on
Software Advice by healthcare users, while the final two are highly rated and
offer functionality useful for healthcare.

MPulse
Overall average rating: 4.6/5
System overview: MPulse users can customize the types of data they want to track for their
organization—from information about each piece of equipment to details about personnel and
vendors. An asset status dashboard offers a quick view of work orders, and users can use multiple
dashboards for different locations.
What software users say: “The MPulse team is probably the most responsive team I’ve ever worked
with. They are always there to support the needs of our company. They listen to our issues and act on
our suggestions. If [using software is] not your thing, you can easily use MPulse out of the box, yet
MPulse is flexible enough to allow customization as needed.” —Rosann Bosso, North Shore Long Island

What software users say: “The less information I have to put in each time, the better it is for me; this
program allows that. It is important to be able to keep track of all repairs. This system makes it easy to
do that: leave info in, or take it out.” —Robin Puliafico, Skilled Nursing & In-House Rehabilitative
