Working Together to Help Healthcare Providers Reduce Medical Device Waste, GE HealthCare and reLink Medical

In order to help healthcare providers minimize medical device waste, boost operational effectiveness, and make the most of their equipment utilization, GE HealthCare and reLink Medical established a partnership to provide asset management solutions. Through this partnership, medical equipment that is no longer needed can be sold, recycled, or donated as part of a standardized medical equipment disposal solution.

Roughly 10% of medical assets are retired from usage by healthcare providers annually.2. Independent attempts to minimize medical device waste can frequently result in labor-intensive procedures with hidden expenses and demand staff time. As providers continue to face cost pressures from the COVID-19 pandemic, managing budgets and uncovering cost savings is a priority.
