A organization contributor for medical devices submits the medical device issue form from the customer service portal of the hospital. In the issue form, the contributor enters the requester organization, medical device, its model, and other issue details. When a medical device issue case is created in the ServiceNow instance, a clinical engineer who acts as a fulfiller with the sn_hcls_cmms.clinical_engineer role can work on the case.
