  • Title: Make sure your imaging equipment goes the distance.
    Author: Halverson KA.
    Journal: J Healthc Resour Manag; 1997 Nov; 15(9):12-5. PubMed ID: 10176839.
    Abstract:
    Today's hospitals have invested a substantial portion of their capital budgets on the purchase of high-tech equipment--diagnostic imaging machinery, clinical laboratory apparatus, biomedical devices--and yet only half have developed strategies for taking care of that equipment as it ages. When do you replace it? When is it obsolete? How do you determine whether it is cost effective? Kenneth Halverson examines the steps to take to develop and implement a successful asset management program that will enable you to keep your high-tech equipment going.
