When ASCs are considering purchasing new equipment, having a formal process for securing funding can make the process easier, according to an article in the latest issue of The Ophthalmic ASC.
Three equipment purchasing tips:
1. Create a buying committee. Setting up a committee dedicated to buying new ASC equipment can help create a streamlined process that ensures the equipment can be bought quickly and efficiently.
2. Check prices. ASCs should price check other brands rather than sticking with one manufacturer of products to ensure they get the best deal for equipment.
3. Focus on outcomes. Buying new equipment should only be done when it can help improve quality and surgical outcomes.
