PRESENTER: PAT LYNCH, CHTM, CBET, CCE, CPHIMS, CHTS-PW, fACCE
Pat Lynch is an experienced biomedical manager with formal training as
a technician, engineer, and in business management. He has worked
exclusively in healthcare since 1975. And has managed clinical
engineering and biomedical departments since 1979. Presently, he is
busy doing charitable work and a little consulting. His expertise is
leveraging his personal reputation and contacts with a strong regional
company to establish a national presence. Pat remains active in the
profession, as a member of over 40 Biomedical associations in the US, and has been
a regular contributor to TechNation magazine, 24X7 Magazine and Listserv, BI&T, and
the Biomedtalk listserv.
WEBINAR AGENDA: In this 45-minute webinar, attendees will learn how to apply the
results of a new study on the economic value analysis of service contracts to their own
facility. This practical step-by-step how-to guide is intended to help biomeds make the
best decisions on service options for their imaging equipment.
The webinar will build on the webinar presented by Pat Lynch on February 24, adding
some analytic tools for the HTM manager to evaluate their own program scope, size
and other factors to estimate their likelihood of saving money by going at-risk for
equipment maintenance.
TechNation would like to thank our sponsor, Alpha Source! Alpha Source is your single source for medical equipment replacement parts and
ultrasound service.
