About HPI’s Medical Equipment Planning Process:

Healthcare Equipment Planning is a specialized process and requires not only a clear understanding of the clinical need but also an intricate knowledge of budgeting, architectural design and building process. Effective project planning can only be achieved through a successful team process. This cohesive team generally consists of user groups, project managers, architects and other associated healthcare planners such as equipment planners, whose responsibility is to balance the requirements of the clinical users and their clients against available healthcare technology, budgetary targets and the realities of the design and construction process.

The HPI Medical Equipment Planning process follows 4 steps, HPI can offer professional services for any of these steps in the Medical Equipment Planning process:
