Healthcare Planning Design and Construction
As technology has advanced and computers have become more powerful, medical equipment has benefitted from the technology boom and has increasingly become more advanced and complex over the last 25 years. Because of the complexity of medical capital equipment, the hospital environment has significantly changed and the requirements are constantly changing to ensure advanced technology can be supported.
-
25 years ago, the position of Medical Equipment Planner, was unheard and very few individuals fulfilled this space. The need for MEP's has changed significantly and every project from a simple renovation to a whole hospital or ASC build utilizes the expertise of MEP's.
-
The Medical Equipment Planning process is complex and starts years before a project kicks off. For equipment that must be designed in the project, often the selection of that equipment occurs without local sales representation, but rather engagement with a equipment companies national accounts team or specialized Design Construction Team.
If a company does not have dedicated resources for the Design Constuction space, or they lack understanding how to work with MEP's and the needs of MEP's, their success in being included in new construction or renovation is significantly limited.
GSM understands the Healthcare Planning Design and Construction, the MEP role, their needs and how to engage with them. Let GSM drive your Healthcare Planning Design and Construction strategy!
IDN's and GPO's
Group purchasing organizations play a significant role in the U.S. health care system consolidating purchasing power across providers and bringing efficiency to sales supply chains, resulting in overall cost savings to providers and patients.
-
96.0 to 98.0 percent of hospitals utilize GPO contracts for their purchasing functions.
-
The largest GPO's are Vizient, Premier, and HealthTrust
-
Additionally, there are regional sourcing groups and purchasing collaboratives that hospitals and IDN's are part of (these organizations are often part of a larger GPO)
-
All together estimates suggest that there are over 600 GPOs
-
Having a strategy to work with IDN's and GPO's is critical to a sales organization.
GSM has extensive experience in this space and can help you navigate and ensure your products are included in contracts and consolidated purchasing efforts.
