No matter if it’s a small physician or a multi-facility healthcare network, it's important that healthcare providers and supply chain managers today make enlightened decisions about new medical equipment purchases. Achieving optimal operational efficiency and lowering the costs associated with equipment purchases is a primary goal for all organizations—which means that the objective of healthcare delivery is to manage resources to meet demands in the best way possible.
CME and Exergen strive to work together to provide you with the best products, particularly when it comes to offering the most advanced and valuable technology available. CME is proud to partner with the work Exergen has done for over three decades not only to exceed your expectations but to provide the best products, service, organization and delivery.
One of the primary goals in all healthcare systems is to come up with new ways to make healthcare more cost effective. To do this, most organizations have turned to supply chain management—a function that comprises almost half of the operating expenses of healthcare facilities and hospitals.
CME and Wolf X-Ray strive to work together to provide you with the best in technology and products, particularly when it comes to protecting both your staff and your equipment. CME is proud to partner with the talented Wolf team to not only exceed your expectations, but also provide the best products, service, and delivery.
In our current economic climate, many healthcare facilities are looking to cut back when it comes to handling equipment delivery and warehousing mainly due to a lack of warehouse space and a lack of sufficient personnel to handle all of the many tasks involved in this process.
A number of IDNs and large systems often ask distributors and vendors to take on logistical needs they would not have in the past—and instead of keeping large items in a central warehouse, they are leaning more toward direct-to-side delivery.
Detecto and CME have teamed up to provide a wide array of innovative technology to our customers. For years, CME has been proud to partner with Detecto’s innovative, USA-made technology, with the sole purpose of exceeding your expectations by offering not only the best service, and delivery, but excellent products as well.
On January 9, 2017, the United States Access Board issued accessibility standards for medical diagnostic equipment (MDE), addressing “equipment that requires transfer from wheelchairs and other mobility aids and includes requirements for transfer surfaces, support rails, armrests, compatibility with lift devices and other features.” These standards can have far-reaching impact on hospitals, non-acute care clinics, and any size practice. As part of our mission to the healthcare community, we at CME wanted to offer an understanding of these standards and next steps in approaching them.
In an age when continued growth and profitability for healthcare systems requires them to spread their footprint outside of their acute care setting, the building or acquisition of non-acute care facilities is only going to increase.
This means the management of those equipment assets increases as well. For the biomed team tasked to oversee these facilities, as well as their own acute care setting, this poses operational challenges that can tax an already stretched department.
It’s hard to believe that workstations on wheels (WOWs) weren’t in active use in healthcare settings ten years ago. The digitization of medical records, coupled with better wireless capabilities has been a real game changer for health care and WOWs have been a notable part of that change.
While around longer, the same is true of wall arms as their roles have increased to include a way to incorporate various devices within the patient room and around the facility.
Technology is invigorating healthcare with a new efficiency and increasingly new possibilities of how to deliver it. As the uses evolve, how these devices are transported or positioned is evolving too.
