This session describes the multiple projects that I have completed of this exact nature (imaging device standardization), that has saved hospital systems up to $20 million over a 10-year period by simply standardization to a single vendor by modality. During this presentation I will outline the steps that have been proven to work to realize these savings from single hospitals to major hospital systems throughout the country. I will also describe in detail pitfalls to be aware of and how to avoid them, as well as procuring stakeholder engagement for this type of project.
