Analysis

Our clients achieve significant cost reductions through a variety of means.  A multi-year, no-escalation price agreement not only caps your instrumentation costs but also ends the expensive cycle of procurement, processing, repair, replacement, and maintenance. You'll find that our reusable instrumentation management program can eliminate the need for many costly disposable instruments and supplies. In addition, as sets are consolidated and disposables are reduced, new inventory space will become available at your site.

Through focused instrument management, we can reduce the number of overall trays entering your surgical suites, provide well constructed and processed sets for every case, greatly reduce the use of costly disposable products, eliminate the stress of turning and flashing, improve space utilization and assume the burden for repairs, replacements and acquisitions.

Benchmarking

Performance tracking is an integral part of every project.  Through cost evaluations, data gathering and benchmarking, we monitor our impact on your facility—and share those results with you on a regular basis.  We can also generate cost-per-procedure rankings for your surgeons.  In addition, at your request, we will identify new opportunities and targets for cost reduction, and work with your staff to achieve those objectives.
