Reducing technology costs and risks in a managed care environment.
In the managed care environment, technology life-cycle management is necessary to minimize costs and maximize the quality of patient care. A careful approach to equipment acquisition and management can help managed care providers reduce the cost of delivering services while ensuring the right technology is available when and where it is needed to best serve patients. Proper management of technology assets from planning and budgeting through acquisition, usage and disposal can help managed care facilities reduce cost and risk, increase control, and improve productivity.
