Capital Replacement Planning Services
BidMed’s proactive approach to capital replacement planning helps avoid emergency purchases, better manage ongoing budgets, and optimize useful life for assets within your health system.
Starting with an asset inventory analysis, we provide data about useful life and replacement costs in order to develop a capital replacement strategy.
Can you afford to NOT have a strategic asset replacement plan?
Operating without a capital replacement strategy is expensive for medical facilities in several ways:
Costly down time when unexpected repairs take assets out of service.
Added fees when unplanned or emergency purchases have to be made on credit.
Impeded patient care and billing when necessary equipment is unavailable.
Inconsistent budget distribution with uneven year-to-year expenses.
But you can cut expenses, improve patient care and billing, and distribute purchases with 3 easy steps.
