If you’re on the lookout for some new or refurbished medical imaging equipment for your medical practice, then you’ll notice several providers offering “turnkey solutions.”
Using a turnkey provider can save you much of the headache and hassles in setting up a new medical imaging center, but only if you know what to look for.
What is the definition of “turnkey”?
Turnkey refers to any third-party system, whether it is medical billing software or a training program, which is easily adaptable and ready for you to use. Think plug ‘n play.
In the world of medical construction and imaging equipment, a turnkey solution provider is the middle-man that helps you choose the optimal medical imaging package, assist in installation, provide follow-up customer service, and provide numerous other logistic services to ensure that your new radiology equipment project goes smoothly.
What can a turnkey solution provider do for me?
Don’t assume that all turnkey solutions providers are alike; one may promise the moon and stars on a platter, while others, under close scrutiny, may offer a minimum of services that barely meets your technological needs.
It’s up to you to make sure that your medical imaging equipment package contract contains all the bells and whistles you need to make your new MRI room or X-ray lab a reality.
