Equipment Lifecycle Management
Diagnostic Imaging Equipment Management
One of the main rationales for any health care merger or acquisition is the desire to cut the overall cost to earnings ratio. An organization buys another and then proceeds to cut and improve efficiencies in all the areas they can. One area where these efficiencies are very difficult to develop is equipment management. The reason for this difficulty is the disparity in management processes, equipment and utilization that exists from facility to facility. The most effective way for organizations to develop greater efficiency is in learning to view imaging assets as part of a larger portfolio, and managing the lifecycles of these assets accordingly. Goalpost seeks to help Hospital IDNs and imaging groups derive more value from their existing equipment through:
- Combining equipment and service valuation in our Equipment Portfolio View
- Mapping an understanding of the facilities' equipment utilization
- Incorporating lifecycle management strategies
- Offering acquisition and liquidation expertise in your approach to your imaging equipment portfolio
- Compliance assistance such as ACR Accreditation and XR-29
We want to help Hospital IDNs and Imaging groups better understand what equipment they possess, what it’s worth, how they are utilizing it (how much profit it brings in), and how they are servicing it (how much it is costing them).
Once these questions are answered, Republic Healthcare can assist facilities in planning the right lifecycle management plan for their entire portfolio, including capital imaging acquisition, relocation, and liquidation. Additionally, we also can develop appropriate service strategies, incorporating the appropriate mix of OEM service, third-party service, parts and labor agreements, time and materials agreements, preventative maintenance agreements, as well as in-house biomedical programs.
