Biomedical Compliance & Equipment Visibility for Community Health Centers
PBES helps FQHCs and community health center networks stay inspection-ready across every site, department, and device — with field biomedical service and TESSA-powered reporting.
Community health centers and FQHCs run some of the most complex outpatient footprints in healthcare — primary care, family practice and pediatrics, dental, women's health, behavioral health, pharmacy, lab and diagnostics, urgent care, and specialty clinics, often across many neighborhoods.
PBES helps CHC and FQHC administrators bring that equipment footprint under one organized, inspection-ready record.
Section 01
The challenge of managing equipment across community health locations
Every department has its own equipment mix and its own compliance pressure. Every site has its own history. When a HRSA site visit or an accreditation survey approaches, the question is never 'do we have equipment?' — it's 'can we prove what we have, where it lives, when it was last inspected, and what still needs attention?'
- Multiple sites, multiple departments, multiple device types
- Spreadsheets, PDFs, and emails that don't reconcile
- Inspection reports that live in a shared drive no one revisits
- Failed equipment that quietly disappears after a report is filed
- Different sites operating on different service cadences
- Survey and audit requests answered with 'let me check'

Powered by TESSA
TESSA-backed visibility for administrators
TESSA is built for the person accountable for compliance across a network of buildings. Instead of chasing site managers for updates, administrators see the state of every location in one place.
- Which sites are complete and which are still open
- Which equipment failed inspection
- Which devices need service or follow-up
- Which reports are ready to download
- Which equipment is aging or repeatedly failing
- How the entire network looks from a compliance and equipment standpoint
TESSA is part of the PBES service relationship — not a separate SaaS product.

FAQ · Community Health Centers & FQHCs
Common questions.
Do you support HRSA site visits and accreditation surveys?
PBES delivers standardized biomedical inspection, electrical safety, and PM documentation per device — the organized record type surveyors and site visitors expect. Compliance decisions remain the health center's responsibility.
Can PBES cover every department in a health center?
PBES supports the biomedical and patient-care equipment across primary care, family practice and pediatrics, dental, women's health, behavioral health, pharmacy support, lab and diagnostics, urgent care, and specialty clinics. Specific device support depends on make, model, and parts availability.
Do you consolidate reporting across every site?
Yes. TESSA rolls inspection status, failed equipment, open service needs, and due dates up to a network-wide view — plus per-site and per-department drill-in.
What happens to failed equipment after inspection?
Failed devices are captured in TESSA and routed toward service or replacement, not buried in a static PDF.
