Healthcare organizations can now plan diagnostic imaging system purchases from Toshiba America Medical Systems, Inc. with Attainia applications. Attainia, the world’s most widely used and highly customized equipment planning, budgeting and tracking software, now includes CT, MR, ultrasound, X-ray and cardiovascular equipment from Toshiba.

“Having Toshiba imaging equipment readily available in Attainia at the earliest phases of project planning simplifies our access to detailed information on Toshiba products,” said Tamar Katz, system director, Capital Equipment Planning and Field Operations, Providence Health & Services. “Our teams plan and source in Attainia daily and Toshiba’s participation makes it easier to work with our clinical teams and architect partners on product selection and space design, resulting in a more accurate equipment plan and accelerated project completion.”

“Toshiba is improving the planning and purchasing mission for equipment planning professionals around the world,” says Jeff Kleck, CEO, Attainia. “The example set by Toshiba is the standard for the industry.”

“Budgeting for imaging technology is challenging for any hospital, and Toshiba’s availability in Attainia’s catalog will allow greater flexibility in planning for future equipment purchases,” said Les Friend, vice president, Strategic Business Group, Toshiba. “Healthcare facilities will now have access to robust purchasing information on all of Toshiba’s industry-leading technologies at their finger-tips.”
