This presentation examines the impact of power quality on uptime and operational continuity in healthcare and other mission-critical environments. Participants will learn how power disturbances such as surges, sags, electrical noise, and internal facility issues can affect equipment performance, data integrity, and system reliability, as well as the differences between surge protection, UPS systems, and advanced power conditioning technologies. The session also provides practical strategies for preventive maintenance and infrastructure planning to help organizations protect sensitive equipment, reduce downtime, and improve overall operational resilience.
