AGILE INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

Medical Equipment Management & Logistics

Why Pay for More Equipment When the Same Devices Sit Idle?

Hospitals waste millions of dollars every year buying and renting duplicate equipment. Broken or disconnected logistics processes result in underutilized equipment and strained budgets. They’re also a drain on both patient and clinician satisfaction. Multiplied across an IDN, excess equipment costs quickly erode margins and add to already fierce economic headwinds. Yet, building the infrastructure required for responsive device lifecycle management across multiple locations – including storage, logistics, reprocessing and maintenance – can be cost-prohibitive for IDNs to build in-house. Add a lack of visibility to current equipment inventory and utilization levels, and many health systems are faced with a significant challenge in how to manage their equipment assets moving forward.

Challenges with IDN Equipment Management and Logistics

A Disconnected System

Healthcare providers waste millions annually due to breakdowns in critical equipment workflows. These gaps drive up total cost of ownership and limit ability to meet patient demand.

Driving Growth Through Scalable Solutions

This is where the savings start. Clinicians get faster access to patient-ready equipment. You know exactly how much equipment you have in inventory across your system, so you buy and rent less equipment. You also have the equipment you need in peak periods, such as natural disasters or pandemics. Then, you can quickly scale down inventories and costs in normal operating conditions. Plus, you get all of this equipment agility while lowering your overall maintenance costs. Every engagement is configured to align with your workflows and your operational structures.
