HTM professionals are now considering the total cost of ownership of medical equipment. For ultrasound imaging equipment, a key question is whether it is economically better to have a contract, pay time & materials, or go in-house. Without a contract, the hospital assumes financial risk on the equipment against unexpected repairs. A new study by Alpha Source quantifies this financial risk and provides a new-to-the-industry data analysis to guide HTM decision making.
This 60-minute webinar will examine the total cost of ownership of ultrasound imaging equipment, specifically the GE Healthcare Logiq 9, and compare the costs and benefits of comprehensive service contracts compared to hourly billed service (T&M). Attendees will learn how to quantify the financial risk involved without a service contract.
