In the rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare, medical technology (MedTech) plays a pivotal role in driving innovation and improving patient outcomes. As healthcare providers increasingly invest in MedTech equipment, manufacturers have a unique opportunity to capitalize on this demand and transform equipment sales into recurring revenue streams. In this blog, we’ll explore five key steps that manufacturers can take to unlock the potential of recurring revenue in the MedTech industry, while highlighting the innovative solutions offered by Ascend Company.
Meeting Healthcare Providers’ Needs:
The first step towards establishing a recurring revenue model in MedTech is to understand and address the evolving needs of healthcare providers. By offering solutions that go beyond traditional equipment sales and cater to providers’ ongoing requirements, manufacturers can build long-term partnerships and create sustainable revenue streams.
Improving Maintenance and Monitoring in MedTech:
To facilitate recurring revenue generation, manufacturers must focus on enhancing maintenance and monitoring processes for MedTech equipment. Here are five essential steps to achieve this goal:
Data-Enabled Remote Monitoring:
Implementing remote monitoring capabilities allows manufacturers to proactively track the performance of MedTech equipment and identify potential issues before they escalate. This proactive approach enhances equipment reliability and minimizes downtime for healthcare providers.
Automated Service Request Creation:
Streamlining the service request process through automation enables healthcare providers to quickly report equipment issues and request assistance. By automating service request creation, manufacturers can improve response times and enhance customer satisfaction.
- Automated Field Service Engineer Scheduling:
Leveraging automation tools to schedule field service engineers optimally ensures prompt and efficient resolution of equipment issues. Automated scheduling eliminates manual coordination efforts and maximizes the utilization of service resources.
Automated Order Creation:
Simplifying the procurement process for replacement parts and consumables through automated order creation enables healthcare providers to maintain MedTech equipment effectively. By automating order creation, manufacturers can facilitate seamless supply chain management and enhance customer convenience.
Leveraging Gen AI:
Harnessing the power of generative artificial intelligence (gen AI) enables manufacturers to automate and streamline core activities related to maintenance, monitoring, and service delivery. Gen AI algorithms can analyze vast amounts of data to optimize equipment performance, predict maintenance needs, and enhance overall operational efficiency.
