Pat Lynch, CHTM, CBET, CCE, CPHIMS, CHTS-PW, fACCE, presented the AlphaSource sponsored webinar “Risky Business: How to Assess Your Financial Risk Without a Service Contract” to 193 attendees on April 13.
Lynch’s presentation informed attendees how to share the results of a new study on the economic value analysis of service contracts with supervisors and C-suite level executives.
Lynch used a step-by-step guide to help biomeds make informed decisions on service options for their imaging equipment. The webinar built on the information that Lynch shared during a February 24 session that was also sponsored by AlphaSource. Both webinars can be watched online at 1TechNation.com/Webinars.
Lynch pointed out analytic tools HTM managers can use to evaluate their imaging maintenance program scope, size and other factors to estimate their likelihood of saving money by opting for at-risk equipment maintenance.
The goal is cost savings and Lynch shared his insights after more than 40 years of service in the biomed realm as well as new information from the recent whitepaper “Economic Value Analysis (EVA) on the Total Cost of Ownership of GE Healthcare Logiq 9 Ultrasound Imaging Equipment.”
Lynch also discussed several factor to consider, including employee turnover, retiring employees, proximity of backup service, geography of hospital service, age of imaging equipment and the availability of parts.
The session concluded with a Q&A session in which Lynch answered questions submitted by attendees.
Attendees reviewed the webinar in a survey and reported a positive experience.
