MES Services Offered
Lonsdale has developed an innovative approach to initiating, structuring and completing an MES transaction for a hospital. The process starts with educating a hospital about MES, and the flexibility it provides compared to conventional equipment procurement alternatives. Lonsdale then prepares a detailed and comprehensive MES business plan, in which current inventories and cost structures are compared to an MES financial forecast of potential tangible and intangible benefits. Historically, the various MES projects involving current and past MES team members and strategic partners have shown material cost savings.
Lonsdale assists hospitals in conducting due diligence on MES potential, through discussions with hospitals that have completed MES transactions, or which have them underway. Business plans include a broad range of analytics, stemming from existing inventories, and information gathered from a series of workshops. These workshops span a range of areas including technical workshops to compare the scope, specifications, service levels and interfaces related to the medical equipment in questions. IT workshops focus on the overarching vision of a hospital's technological objectives. Process workshops address dealing with project planning and vendor interfaces. Legal and financial workshops focus on the nature and terms of the legal documentation and structure of financing.
Though Lonsdale provides a consortium approach to MES transactions, a key deliverable is assisting the hospital on negotiating the best market pricing available from consortium members, while ensuring that the sole sourced services are priced at the current market.
