Study findings presented at AAMI eXchange examine asset uptime, service costs, and vendor consolidation across participating health systems.

PartsSource released findings from a multi-year retrospective study examining how evidence-based service strategies affect operational and financial performance across health systems.

The findings will be showcased during the AAMI eXchange 2026 conference, taking place May 29–June 1 in Denver.

The study, titled “Evidence at scale: What 25 health systems reveal about a more connected model for clinical asset performance,” analyzed outcomes from 2023-2025 across 25 health systems using PartsSource Enterprise Service. According to the company, the study included more than 120 hospitals, 22,000 assets, and hundreds of ambulatory sites.

PartsSource said participating health systems shifted away from fragmented service models in favor of asset-level service strategies informed by longitudinal data, vendor benchmarking, workflow standardization, and broader networks of service providers.

According to the study, participating organizations reported:

  • 98% clinical asset uptime across multi-site environments
  • 17.3% average savings compared to prior service spending
  • Consolidation of 981 vendor contracts and service relationships, averaging 39 vendors per health system
  • 53% higher compounded savings in year three compared to year one

The company said the findings come as health systems continue to face workforce shortages, financial pressures, and increasing care demands.

“Clinical assets are central to care delivery, yet most health systems still manage service, uptime, and workforce capability in fragmented ways,” said Philip Settimi, president and CEO of PartsSource, in a release. “This study validates what leading clinical engineering professionals already know: When organizations apply evidence-based service strategy through a connected enterprise platform, they can improve performance without simply shifting cost or risk.”

PartsSource also outlined four connected areas within the PartsSource PRO platform: parts procurement, service management, asset visibility, and workforce support tools. The company said the platform is intended to help health systems manage equipment uptime, utilization, and operational readiness.
