Medical, Lab & IT Equipment Benchmarking & Analytics

The Problem

Incomplete Information

Traditional benchmarking relies on hospital-reported data that doesn't include best price. And ignores essential information from other sources.

It’s hard to make good decisions using bad information.

Information incomplete.

Traditional benchmarking relies on hospital-reported data that doesn’t capture the best prices because hospitals don’t report them.

It’s about more than purchase price.

Traditional benchmarking focuses on purchase price, which is less than 25% of total equipment lifecycle costs. Effective benchmarking needs to consider many other costs such as service, software, support, training, upgrades, supplies and more, that account for the remaining 75%.

The medical equipment marketplace is hard to navigate.

It’s a complex market. Prices change frequently. Availability is uncertain. Suppliers have an information advantage and want to sell the most product at the highest price. It’s frustrating, time consuming, and often hard to know where to turn.

But it’s easier than you think to get better information.

Better information unlocks $14,900 per bed per year in missed savings

US hospitals spend more than $110 billion annually on the purchase, service, and disposition of medical equipment. $14 billion — $14,900 per bed per year — is wasted because hospitals continue to rely on incomplete, inaccurate information that doesn’t reflect the best prices available.

Know the right price.

And get it.

Having the right information saves hospitals time and money on medical equipment lifecycle costs.
