Medical Equipment Planning Advisory

 

Equipping a healthcare facility with the right technology is not just a matter of procurement—it’s a strategic process that impacts patient outcomes, clinical efficiency, and long-term operational sustainability. At Akash Advisors, we provide comprehensive medical equipment planning services that are tailored to your hospital’s clinical scope, budget, and design—whether you're building a greenfield hospital or upgrading an existing facility.

 

Our planning is vendor-neutral, evidence-based, and aligned with international healthcare design standards. We work collaboratively with architects, hospital planners, and clinical teams to ensure each piece of equipment is justified by need, integrated into the workflow, and optimally placed to maximize safety, efficiency, and usability.

Our Key Service Components

 

1. Needs Assessment & Budgeting

 

We begin with a deep dive into your hospital's clinical service lines, capacity projections, and operational objectives. Based on this, we:

 

• Define department-wise equipment needs for diagnostic, therapeutic, and support functions.
• Differentiate between essential, optional, and future-ready equipment.
• Create a comprehensive Bill of Quantities (BOQ) mapped to usage, volumes, and levels of care.
• Develop realistic budgeting estimates that account for equipment cost, logistics, installation, and lifecycle maintenance.

 

2. Technology Evaluation

 

With new technologies emerging rapidly, selecting the right equipment can be overwhelming.  We help you to:

 

• Evaluate equipment options based on clinical efficacy, reliability, and ROI.
• Compare brands and models using a structured matrix of specifications, service history, and scalability.
• Prioritize future-proof and interoperable solutions that adapt to evolving clinical needs.

 

3. Space & Layout Coordination

 

Medical equipment must be planned in parallel with hospital design to ensure functional harmony. We work closely with architects and engineers to:

 

• Validate room sizes, structural load capacity, MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) requirements, and safety clearances.
• Coordinate equipment placement for efficient clinical workflows, infection control, and patient/staff safety.
• Prevent rework, cost overruns, and commissioning delays through early-stage coordination.

 

4. Procurement Support

We support the entire procurement lifecycle by:

• Preparing technical specifications and tender documents aligned with the project scope.

• Conducting technical bid evaluations and scoring proposals based on defined criteria. 
• Assisting in vendor negotiations, warranty structuring, and service contract reviews.
• Ensuring cost competitiveness without compromising on quality or compliance with the project scope.
 

 

5. Installation & Commissioning

 

Proper implementation is critical for equipment performance. Our team oversees:

 

• Delivery scheduling and site readiness.
• On-site installation supervision, utility checks, and pre-commissioning protocols.

 

6. Regulatory & Quality Compliance

 

We ensure that all equipment planning adheres to:

 

• National regulations (e.g., NABH and other norms in India) and licensing requirements.
• International standards (e.g., IEC, ISO, CE, US FDA) for medical device safety and performance.
• Infection control, radiation safety, and biomedical waste management protocols.
