Capital Equipment Solutions
Why healthcare providers should view capital as a process, not an event
Many hospitals follow a formal process for supply purchases. Meanwhile, they buy capital equipment in a more ad hoc way. But the stakes are higher for equipment than supplies, because the organization will live with the decisions for years.
In reality, buying capital equipment isn’t an event but a process. That’s why Capital Equipment Solutions at The Broadlane Group™ takes a holistic approach, helping you deploy the right equipment to gain the lowest total cost of ownership. Our unique approach attracts more than $1 billion in annual purchasing volume and could save you up to 15%.
We provide several offerings to meet the needs and budget of any healthcare provider, from two-operating room Ambulatory Care Services to large healthcare systems.
Budget Assessment
Providers can often fund only a fraction of their needs. Setting priorities becomes essential. The Budget Assessment will allow you to make the most of limited resources through proper prioritization.
Equipment Needs Assessment
With an Equipment Needs Assessment, Capital Equipment Solutions will gauge the lifespan of your existing equipment, considering factors such as: service agreements, clinical utlitlization, technology trends and replacement/upgrade options. The evaluation will provide a long-term replacement plan based on verified data, not opinion.
