The practice of medical service requires investment in some of the most sophisticated and rather expensive machines. The individuals and organizations that specialize in this field need the latest tools if they are to realize the best impact, particularly on their patients. Nevertheless, obtaining medical implements is a rather daunting task due to the high costs involved. Also, the tools are often rendered obsolete sooner than expected. It is because of this that many health facilities have resorted to renting medical equipment.
It is possible to finance your medical facility 100 percent by renting tools. Some of the medical implements offered for rental include; X-ray and ultrasound machines, surgery items, MRI machines, computers, imaging diagnostic tools and EMR software. There are however some considerations to be made before settling on the rental decision.
Be sure to begin with evaluations of a rent vs. Buy decision. Analyze the two alternatives in order to reach the most beneficial and efficient decision. Compare the price of buying the item against various lease quotes available, while considering different manufacturers, dealers and leasing companies.
In order to undertake a complete financial analysis, ensure to gather all your pertinent financial information into one place. The data is then used to analyze the viability and feasibility of a particular investment. Gathering the data is particularly important as it enables you to identify and estimate the incremental cash flows associated with the investment. Incremental cash flows simply mean the additional expenses and revenues as a result of the investment. This indicates how a single investment will improve the overall performance of your business, as opposed to a mere analysis of whether a particular investment is profitable on its own.
Further, use the data to analyze the break even points, net present value and the payback value. The analyses furnish you with sufficient information on, not only the short term financial implications of the investment, but also the on the long term. In addition, you are able to know the length of time it will take for you to regain the initial expenditure.
However, the cost of renting depends to a great extent on the rate of the lease and the periodic payments. As such, carry out and evaluation of the factors affecting the periodic payments and the lease rate. For example, the period of the lease has a profound impact on the terms and the amount of charges associated. Clearly spell out the duration of your lease.
Before renting, one should also consider the frequency of service (repair) and the type of the lease (capital or operating lease). For maintenance, consider the service schedule; the number of times and how convenient it is. Does it allow on-site servicing or must it be taken in for repair? Capital leases (with capital allowances and residual ownership) are more expensive compared to operating leases (are pure rental agreements).
All in all, the resultant decision should be a win-win situation. The project so undertaken must be beneficial not only to your practice, but also to the ultimate client. The customer should reap from the comfort and affordability associated with the decision. For the business, it ought to be in line with the future plans and compare well with other alternative foregone opportunities in the practice.
