A Joint Commission survey finding tied to missing preventive maintenance records — on a ventilator, a sterilizer, or a patient lift — carries an immediate jeopardy citation that can suspend Medicare billing within 23 days. In 2024, 61 percent of Joint Commission conditional accreditation findings at acute care hospitals traced directly to incomplete or inaccessible medical equipment maintenance documentation. The equipment was serviced. The PMs were performed. The failure was that no auditable record connected field work to a retrievable compliance trail. That gap is exactly what Oxmaint closes. Book a demo to see how Oxmaint digitizes hospital CMMS operations, Joint Commission documentation, and medical equipment compliance across your health system.
Hospital CMMS selection for a health system or acute care facility centers on four non-negotiable capabilities: Joint Commission EC.02.04 and EC.02.05 documentation compliance, medical equipment PM scheduling with manufacturer interval enforcement, HTM and facilities work order management with audit-ready records, and NFPA 99 life safety system inspection tracking. Oxmaint delivers all four as a unified platform — deployable in 4 to 6 weeks without an IT project, with pre-configured healthcare compliance templates and mobile-first field execution.
Why General-Purpose CMMS Platforms Fail Healthcare Compliance
Most CMMS platforms were built for manufacturing maintenance. Adapting them to hospital-grade compliance documentation requires expensive customization, consultant engagements, and ongoing configuration effort — while regulatory risk accumulates. Book a demo to see Oxmaint's healthcare compliance configuration deployed for your facility type.
Medical equipment PM intervals, inspection records, and risk-based alternative equipment maintenance (AEM) documentation must be retrievable by asset and by inspection date within minutes of a surveyor request. Oxmaint structures every PM completion against the equipment record — with technician identity, completion timestamp, and findings captured at point of service on mobile.
Medical gas systems, emergency power supply systems (EPSS), fire alarm systems, and sprinkler systems all require documented inspection intervals under NFPA 99 and NFPA 101. Oxmaint manages inspection schedules, captures test results and deficiency findings, and links corrective work orders to the originating inspection record — producing the complete compliance chain Joint Commission surveyors require.
FDA medical device recall notifications require hospitals to locate affected equipment by model and serial number within hours — not days. Oxmaint's equipment registry links every asset by manufacturer, model, and serial number, enabling recall identification and response documentation in under 30 minutes across a multi-site health system.
The Utilities Management Plan requires documented preventive maintenance for all utility systems supporting patient care — HVAC, medical gas, electrical, plumbing, and water management. Oxmaint enforces PM intervals per the UMP schedule, prevents task closure without required readings, and generates the compliance log CMS surveyors expect to see organized by utility system category.
Joint Commission-Ready Documentation — Captured at the Point of Service, Not Reconstructed Before the Survey
Oxmaint structures every PM, every inspection, and every corrective action against the asset record — so your compliance documentation is always current, always retrievable, and never assembled under survey pressure. Book a demo to see the Joint Commission documentation workflow for your facility.

Operational Results — Health Systems Using Oxmaint
From 64% to 99% PM Compliance — in 90 Days
Health systems that move from paper PM logs to Oxmaint close their Joint Commission documentation gap before the next survey — not during it. Book a demo to see your current PM compliance gap identified in the first deployment session.
