150 C-level hours saved each year through optimization of clinical ultrasound operations at

Alb Fils Kliniken

In 2014, the Alb Fils Kliniken dual-site hospital in Germany began a long-term Value Partnership to optimize the management of its ultrasound systems across medical departments and to increase clinical capabilities. The contract includes the optimization of the entire system fleet, the provision of latest ultrasound technology at affordable cost and a single contact by an on-site manager for all equipment-related topics. The combined approach of consulting and technology management enables Alb Fils Kliniken to reduce operational complexity, increase technology availability and save administrative costs significantly.

“With the increasing number and complexity of medical devices, strategic partnerships are almost an absolute necessity to keep a facility of our size running efficiently.”
