What Tech Knowledge Associates does

Tech Knowledge Associates (TKA) is a U.S.-based healthcare technology management (HTM) services firm founded in 2011 and headquartered in Madison, Tennessee. The company operates as a sub-brand of Triimaging within The Innovation Institute's Enterprise Development Group, which is owned by six non-profit health systems. TKA delivers comprehensive medical equipment management programs to acute care hospitals and health networks, addressing pain points such as rising equipment costs, supply chain backlogs, vendor management, equipment uptime, and regulatory compliance with TJC guidelines.

TKA's product and service portfolio centers on three core offerings — Equipment Maintenance (custom programs that reportedly extend service beyond end-of-life and save approximately 20% in costs), Equipment Tracking (TEAMnet RTLS with Active Scan QR-code and Passive Scan tag-based modules within a CMMS environment), and Equipment Management (READI+, ensuring mobile medical equipment such as infusion pumps, ventilators, telemetry monitors, and specialty beds is available, disinfected, and inspected). Supporting services include tiered clinical engineering consulting (diagnostic review, operational analysis, corrective strategy) and temporary staffing for Biomed II, Biomed III, and Imaging Technician roles. Documented outcomes include 99.7% equipment uptime versus a 95% industry benchmark and tens of millions of dollars in cumulative client savings, including $58.5M for Providence St. Joseph Health and $3.5M over five years for Valley Children's Healthcare.

TKA generates revenue primarily through multi-year managed services contracts with hospital systems and health networks, supplemented by professional services (consulting), temporary staffing fees, and licensing/distribution economics on TEAMnet hardware and software. Pricing is custom and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is an enterprise field sales motion targeting hospital leadership and clinical engineering departments through direct outreach, a company website, and healthcare industry events. The company employs 51–100 people and has not disclosed external venture capital or private equity funding.
