Benefits of Buying Pre-Owned Medical Equipment from a Stocking Dealer

Posted by Vikki Harmonay on Thu, Nov 29, 2012 @ 12:11 PM

Buying from a Stocking Dealer is usually not the cheapest way to buy used and refurbished medical equipment.  It’s not.  Think about it… they do things like pay to pick-up and deliver the equipment to their location, compensate extra staff, and spread out the costs of forklifts and other warehouse equipment. So, why buy equipment from a firm with the actual systems in their warehouse?  Why does it make sense to sometimes pay a little more than buying from a broker?

To Upgrade Diagnostic Imaging Systems or Not to Upgrade?

Posted by Vikki Harmonay on Fri, Jun 15, 2012 @ 09:06 AM

Everyone understands that most diagnostic imaging systems are a long-term investment. The inevitable “big” question is, “When is it time to purchase newer equipment versus making do with perfectly functional existing technology?”  It’s a challenge that faces most purchasing departments, clinic and hospital administrators, physicians and office managers—and it’s where Atlantis Worldwide can step in and help make a decision easier.  No, we don’t have a crystal ball that allows us to gaze into the future and determine your best course of action.  But we DO have more than 20 years of experience in buying and selling imaging equipment, so we understand the market and can help our customers identify the best equipment solutions for their budgets and needs.

When you involve the Atlantis Worldwide team in the decision making process, we will work with you to gather pertinent information that will enable you to make a more informed decision.  We’ll compile review a wide range of data:  what are the comparative costs of installation?  Can your existing system be upgraded easily, or is it easy to remove and replace the equipment?  What is the turnover timing?  How has your market changed and what are the current needs of your patients, physicians and community?   What is the current and ideal workflow?  How does equipment depreciation factor in?  How will the impending changes to Medicare and the insurance industry impact your business?  What are the cost differences in servicing new systems versus upgrading existing ones?  By answering these and other questions, oftentimes it illuminates the perfect solution for your diagnostic imaging needs.

A Change In Attitude: Bigger and Better Isn’t Always Best

Posted by Vikki Harmonay on Tue, May 15, 2012 @ 09:05 AM

In the not-so-distant past, many hospitals and imaging groups would rush to buy the biggest and the best medical imaging equipment.  After all, who doesn’t want the shiny new toy?  But oftentimes these purchases were made without reviewing the needs of a specific facility, market and patient population. Reimbursements were high, and referrals and insurance acceptance were strong, so why worry?  In fact,  many diagnostic imaging centers were launched on the “if you build it, they will come” philosophy.
