title: Tech vendors getting fiscal. General Electric Co. is leading the way with an array of services, from capital and equipment to consulting over quality, efficiency.
abstract: General Electric Co. and other technology vendors see a golden opportunity in cash-strapped hospital clients. By also offering financing and consulting services, they're helping their providers stay in the game long enough to pay them back for their high-tech goods, and come back for more. GE's Rick Wolfert says, "We have reason to believe we either are or soon will be the leading provider."
