Medical Device Technology advancements create challenges for hospitals, other healthcare providers and device manufacturers.
Like with computers, the rapid changes in technology have proven challenging for healthcare to keep pace with the added pressure from reimbursement reductions and penalties, as well as merger and acquisitions which restrict access to capital budgets and the need to invest in revenue-producing projects.

Are you holding a cell phone at this moment? Can you see your colleagues talking on one? If you are sitting in a restaurant or other crowded area, are there many people with cell phones in use? Do you see children playing video or games on a cell phone? How old do you think those children are?

How will you know if buying used medical equipment is right for you? What do you need to ask, know and consider?
As most of us know, there are risks and rewards to buying used products, whether it’s a home, car, computer or other piece of technology.
Thank you. It is just two words, but when you offer it to the dedicated, professionals who work every day to make
people of all ages in our hospitals be a little more comfortable these two words can go a long way.
These individuals can be those who sweep or clean the rooms, who serve the meals, or those who clean the
equipment used in daily care, to the laundry or the cafeteria where friends and families seek rest from caring. Or
perhaps they are the nurses, physicians or technicians who interact with the patient. Whatever job they hold it
often goes unthanked by patients and their families who simply miss that opportunity.

I’m talking about the simple titles for various departments.
