Equipment planning process. Organizing purchases.
Equipment planning for a new or renovated OR space is an essential part of the overall facility planning process. It can be accomplished by in-house staff or by outside equipment consultants. If outside consultants are hired to organize the process, it is important that the nursing and medical staff be involved because they use the equipment and will determine the ultimate success of the new facility.
