Course Description
Medical and healthcare facilities rely on a wide range of complex equipment — from diagnostic imaging systems and surgical tools to dental and spa devices. These machines are vital to patient care and business operations, yet they are highly sensitive to electrical, environmental, and mechanical conditions. When a loss occurs, even minor damage can lead to significant operational and financial impact.
This one-hour course provides claim professionals with a technical overview of medical and healthcare equipment losses. Participants will learn about common damage mechanisms, environmental sensitivities, and effective methods for assessing condition, repairability, and restoration potential following an incident.
