Leading US Hospitals Standardize on St. Croix Systems: Many Replace Existing Competitive Solutions
To its impressive client list, in 2009 St. Croix Systems added Children’s Hospital Boston, Mount Auburn Hospital, New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Norton Healthcare, Inc., Novant Health, Riverside Health System, SUNY Upstate Medical University Hospital, Tucson Medical Center among others. These institutions range from a single 500-bed medical facility to an expansive IDN with 19 hospitals and over 30,000 beds. With a focus on providing the highest possible level of patient care and safety, these facilities have realized that managing the lifecycles of their assets allows them to reduce costs, manage shrinking budgets, while improving patient care and staff satisfaction.
Reductions in operational expenses and capital spending are key requirements made more challenging by the current economic environment and changes in the political landscape. At the same time these reductions cannot compromise care levels. Hospitals have begun to understand the significant operational cost savings and opportunities for capital preservation associated with well-constructed EAM program.
Goddard notes, Tens of billions of dollars are spent annually on purchasing and maintaining assets. By increasing asset utilization, including maximizing the return on assets at the end of their lifecycle, purchasing only essential assets, and efficiently managing asset logistics and maintenance, healthcare facilities can easily drive bottom line results from deploying EAM solutions.
