outsourcing clinical engineering Improvement Technologies, LLC offers a workshop and a publication on Outsourcing Or Insourcing Clinical Engineering. Topics include how we develop a win-win solution; choosing what is best for the organization, for its patients, clinical staff; and avoiding common mistakes that add unnecessary cost and aggravation. Improvement Technologies, LLC has identified many of the issues that should be considered in making the decision to outsource or insource this vital support service or to stay with the current strategy. We have developed a process to identify, prioritize and facilitate resolving the many issues that need to be considered in order to achieve the best possible outcome (including improving the existing service). Using these top priorities, we discuss how to decide among the specific providers and whether to change or stay on the current course. We provide quantitative tools to facilitate objective decision-making. This presentation does not take sides, but reveals many of the issues to consider, discuss and negotiate before when making a change. Using these same tools can also stimulate improvement without changing providers. Our publication, Outsourcing or Insourcing: Securing A Successful Clinical Engineering Program, will help you develop successful long-term relationships through clear and effective communication of expectations and realities, whether the program is insourced or outsourced. It provides over 150 questions to ask both within the organization and to explore with potential providers in order to evaluate options, reveal hidden risks and benefits, and compare providers. It can also be used to establish improved performance and relationships with the existing provider or to prepare for a transition and help minimize the risks and costs of the transition.
