Equipment (Medical & Non-medical) Planning and Procurement
Avoid costly mistakes.
Enthusiasm / physician pressure to buy an expensive high-tech equipment or over-cautiousness to ignore a technology or to buy a soon to be out-dated technology are the common mistakes committed by most hospitals. It is essential that asset planning for a hospital is directed by a medical and non-medical program that is derived on basis of the present and future healthcare needs and technology comparisons.
