Track device utilization and build evidence for replacement decisions

Utilization records capture whether devices are being used, how often, and across how many sessions. This turns the device record into a performance instrument, not just a registry entry, and feeds the org-level utilization dashboard over time.

By the end of this stage: Utilization history gives objective evidence for redeployment or replacement decisions based on actual use patterns rather than age alone.

Modules involved: Device Utilization, Organization Utilization

What to do

1. Log utilization against device records

Clinical and facility users mark devices active or idle by period to build a usage pattern over time. Entries are tied to the device record so history accumulates in one place.

2. Track trends per facility

Utilization history accumulates per device and rolls up across the facility so engineering can see where demand is concentrated or falling.

3. Surface underused assets

Devices with consistently low utilization appear in org-level utilization views, making redeployment or early retirement decisions visible before they become a cost problem.

4. Inform replacement decisions

High utilization combined with age and fault history builds an objective case for replacement. Org-level utilization dashboards expose these pressure points across all facilities.
