CMMS for Healthcare Systems - The FSI journey story with guest Joe Serwinkski President and Founder

This episode features Joe Serwinski, Founder and Presdent of FSI, discussing the journey to building a purpose-built CMMS for healthcare maintenance management. Hospitals, and healthcare facilities of any kind, need the right software that follows their process. Joe built it and tells us about the journey. A 35 year journey during which Joe launched Facility Survey, in 2002, to help hospitals collect and load the right data into their CMMS platforms. FSI was launched later based on a specific CMMS build out for a hospital system with 17 locations. Other hospitals wanted to use the same platform, so they entered the market with one of the first SaaS based healthcare specific CMMS platforms. Turns out it is CMS, rather than just CMMS, which stands for Cutom Maintenance Software with a mind towards including the right flexibility needed to help varying types, and sizes, of hospitals and healthcare facilities keep moving foward instead of trying to adapt some other CMMS to their working style. This episode covers:

• The journey to creating FSI and Joe's background
• Worrisome trends in CMMS and maintenance
• Trends that are net positive (good) for the industry
• The importance of standardization (ASHE, etc.)
• Data for the next generation
• The role of AI
• Integrations now and in the future - WHy they matter
