RE: Justification for new medical equipment purchase
Ms. Tarbet:
The advancement with medical technology is rapidly progressing every day. It has begun urging healthcare facilities to make new investments in new equipment and these kinds of advancements have been statistically proven to be a necessity when it comes to patient diagnostics and care. As part of the healthcare team, it is our duty to provide our patients with the highest quality of care they deserve from …show more content…
I would like to recommend investing for MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scanners from GE (General Electric). I am also aware that choices such as these necessitate taking various factors into consideration, for instance, the value of the new medical equipment and the probable profit that this equipment could possibly bring to our hospital. An MRI scanner is considered a vital piece of equipment necessary in the Radiology Department because of the fact that it is an ideal investment for this hospital because of its technological benefits to our patients. Even though the scanners might demand for significant spending, it also has the capability of providing the hospital the possibility of acquiring more than just a return on investment.

The homogeneous magnet in addition to the Optima MR450w redesigned features will contribute to time efficiency which includes patient setup and/or exam prescriptions. This scanner is a good investment for the Radiology Department and since it’s manufactured by General Electric Healthcare which has a proven 25-year track record of providing and delivering high-end technological advancements. The Optima MR450w also provides the functionality of radiation therapy planning which allows the Radiology Department’s healthcare staff/professionals to foresee and handle services without any unexpected downtime. The Optima MR450w 1.5T is priced for $49,181.00 from General Electric Healthcare and it can cost around $862.54 per month for 60 months with a 7% interest if financed. This cost includes any necessary maintenance needed for the whole duration of the contract from a reliable team of service
