Date & Time
Monday, February 18, 2019, 2:45 PM - 4:00 PM
Description

The planning, programming, and budgeting for equipment replacement is critical, whether that be clinical equipment or facility infrastructure.  There is no “one size fits all” strategy; however, having an effective process in place to prioritize and balance capital equipment purchases and replacement strategies is crucial.  Are you asking the right questions when determining when to replace your capital equipment?  What factors contribute to your decision?  This discussion will include tactics for setting priorities amid competing requests, making decisions objectively, and how to best determine long-term value.  The importance of equipment planning checklists before, during, and after acquisition will also be discussed.

 

Learning Objectives:

1. Describe the factors that impact equipment replacement planning.
2. Explain how prioritizing capital equipment purchases can positively affect a hospital's bottom line.
3. Discuss best practices and strategies for capital equipment replacement.
4. Outline processes for objectively evaluating competing requests for capital equipment replacements.
