Overview
Healthcare organizations rarely have enough capital to fund every priority—and every request comes with a reason it shouldn’t wait. The challenge is determining what truly deserves investment now, what can be deferred, and how to make those tradeoffs in a way that clinical, operational, and financial stakeholders can understand and support.
Aging equipment, emerging technology, unexpected replacements, clinical requests, infrastructure needs, and strategic initiatives all compete for the same limited resources. And the decision is rarely as simple as replacing the oldest equipment first.
Join supply chain leaders from Jackson Health System, Seattle Children’s, and Advocate Health for a candid, peer-to-peer discussion about the decisions behind the capital plan—what gets prioritized, what gets deferred, and how leaders navigate competing needs when there isn’t enough funding for everything
Hear How Healthcare Leaders Are:
- Prioritizing competing capital requests when available resources cannot fund every need
- Making replace, repair, or defer decisions based on factors beyond equipment age alone
- Evaluating equipment and technology needs across broader portfolios rather than one request or asset at a time
- Balancing clinical, operational, financial, and strategic priorities when difficult investment tradeoffs must be made
- Building alignment and confidence around capital allocation decisions
What You'll Take Away
You’ll leave the discussion with practical perspectives to help you:
- Evaluate competing requests more consistently when multiple investments can be justified
- Ask better questions about replacement timing by looking beyond equipment age alone
- Think more broadly about equipment and technology needs across your portfolio
- Navigate difficult tradeoffs with stakeholders who may have different priorities
- Strengthen the rationale behind capital decisions so choices can be more clearly communicated and supported
