What is a managed equipment service?
This type of solution is a relatively new procurement method that improves collaboration between the public and private sectors. An MES solution allows you to benefit from the latest healthcare equipment with an always-on solution for a known fixed, monthly, quarterly, or annual fee. With an MES, the solution provider doesn’t just sell the equipment; they provide a full managed service for a fixed fee. This managed service agreement typically includes the following:
- Replacement of the equipment at given intervals ensuring it’s always up to date
- Full maintenance and service packages
- Consumable items
- Installation and commissioning of the equipment
- Training (as required)
- Facilities management
- Disposal of the equipment
- An asset and contract management system to monitor and track both the equipment and any associated contracts
- A bespoke financial solution designed to generate significant cost savings
What are the benefits of a Managed Equipment Service Solution?
