Equipment Planning & Procurement

CPI Group joined The Children’s Hospital implementation team 14 months into construction in February 2005. The project had a working equipment list projected at $86M and an equipment budget of $55M. It was CPI Group’s responsibility to lead the contract negotiation efforts in aligning the equipment costs with the project budget without compromising the planning efforts or level of services offered by the new facility.

We formatted and mapped our automated requisition process so that it could be uploaded directly into the Hospital’s PeopleSoft procurement and accounting software. In addition, the output from our online database, InteMationTM, was formatted, mapped and uploaded directly into the Hospital’s Archibus system, to become the basis for the Hospital’s asset management program at the completion of the project.

CPI Group provided the full procurement, management and receiving of all medical equipment, as well as installation of all owner-installed equipment. In addition, we coordinated the move management and scheduling of all existing equipment including on-site participation in the 126 patient move on October 10, 2007.
