Description
Managing medical equipment is a vital and challenging component to any healthcare project. It requires a balance
of expectations for decisions, clarity of responsibilities among a host of resources and proactive measures to plan, procure and install owner furnished medical equipment. This session enables attendees to
•Describe three distinct approaches to dividing responsibilities and provide a sample matrix to use during the project team assembly phase.
•Implement successful communication methods with the owner, its medical staff, their equipment supplier, and the project architect to achieve needed schedule progress.
•Define appropriate divisions of responsibilities based on resources available, construction method and magnitude of project.
