Scope of Work
Define equipment or systems covered, types of maintenance (preventative, corrective), excluded items, and deliverables such as inspection reports and parts replacement policies.
A clear Healthcare Maintenance Agreement reduces downtime, documents compliance with safety and privacy rules, and allocates liability between provider and contractor. It supports consistent preventative maintenance, preserves medical device warranties, and records responsibilities needed for audits and incident response.
Common users include facility managers, clinical engineering teams, hospital procurement, and third‑party service contractors.
Parties should ensure signatories have delegated authority and that copies are retained per regulatory requirements.
The facilities manager oversees building systems and coordinates vendors. They verify maintenance schedules, confirm vendor insurance and credentials, and sign on behalf of the provider when delegated purchasing authority and budget approval are documented.
A named officer or authorized agent of the maintenance firm who confirms scope, warranty handling, and response times. Their signature binds the contractor to service level commitments and indemnity obligations.
Define equipment or systems covered, types of maintenance (preventative, corrective), excluded items, and deliverables such as inspection reports and parts replacement policies.
Specify response and repair times, uptime targets, escalation procedures, and measurable KPIs tied to credits or penalties for missed targets.
State initial term, renewal process (automatic or by notice), termination for convenience or cause, and transition obligations upon contract end.
Include pricing structure (flat fee, per‑equipment, time and materials), invoicing cadence, late payment terms, and any retainers or prepayments.
Address HIPAA obligations if maintenance involves access to PHI, BAA requirements, data handling, and any facility access controls and background checks.
Require contractor insurance limits, naming the healthcare entity as additional insured, indemnity scope, and limits on consequential damages.
