Managed Services

Working as one to drive medical innovation forward.

Managed Equipment Services (MES) is the outsourcing of all aspects of medical technology to a third-party company that specialises in providing this type of service. At GE Partnerships and Solutions we supply across various hospital departments including Radiology, Ultrasound, Patient Care Services, Theatres, Pathology and Endoscopy.

Why Managed Equipment Services (MES)?

The outsourcing of non-core activities is common in large organisations seeking to mitigate risk. This enables the healthcare provider to focus on its core role of providing a high standard of clinical services to patients.

MES provide a strategic approach to managing technology, maintaining equipment to a high standard, and replacing components through an agreed investment plan. This ensures that patients and clinicians always have access to the required standard of equipment to perform their work. This reduces clinical risk and increases productivity.

How does a GE Healthcare MES add value?

Systemic changes across the healthcare sector, coupled with a rapidly evolving and aging population make it increasingly difficult for organisations to deliver sustainable, high-quality care that’s backed by the right technology. That’s why a GE Healthcare MES can go beyond the ordinary to extraordinary with value added components that are designed to support lasting partnerships with customers.

Standard MES

• Bundled equipment, service, turnkey and funding for a predictable flat fee
• GE takes risk on funding, inflation, and future equipment/service prices

Technology Partnership

• GE makes investment in workforce development & process optimisation, technology & digital solutions and value-creating offerings and activities designed to generate increasing impact
• We jointly define goals and measures of success

Performance Partnership

• GE takes risk on delivering outcomes such as: Increased throughput, Patient flows, faster diagnostics and treatment pathways and Financial outcomes
• Hospitals commit to resources and GE content
• Potential for outcome-linked contract payment and financial results shared with care provider
