Challenges in Medical Equipment Rental and Healthcare Management

Healthcare providers face unique challenges when renting or leasing medical equipment:

🔹Short- and long-term rentals of devices like MRI machines, ventilators, or infusion pumps

🔹Pro-rata billing for rentals that don’t align with standard billing cycles

🔹Equipment tracking across multiple departments or locations

🔹Maintenance and calibration to ensure regulatory compliance and patient safety

🔹Real-time availability to meet urgent medical needs

Manual tracking of these elements often leads to inefficiencies, asset downtime, and potential compliance risks.

Streamlining Healthcare Rentals with NetSuite Rental Management

Accurate Rental Contract Management

With NetSuite Rental Management, every rental agreement—pricing, billing frequency, and duration—is captured digitally. Healthcare providers can manage agreements for both short-term and long-term rentals, ensuring transparency and traceability.

Automated Billing and Pro-Rata Calculations

Whether billing hourly for diagnostic devices or monthly for long-term hospital equipment, the system automatically calculates charges and generates invoices on schedule. Pro-rata billing ensures accuracy for rentals starting or ending mid-cycle.

Equipment Shipment, Returns, and Quality Checks

From coordinating deliveries to hospitals and clinics to performing post-rental quality checks, the SuiteApp streamlines operations. Each asset is tracked, reducing delays and ensuring medical devices are always patient-ready.

Maintenance Scheduling and Usage Tracking

Medical equipment requires regular maintenance to stay compliant and functional. NetSuite Rental Management automates service schedules based on usage or time intervals. Operators can log equipment usage through the mobile app, ensuring preventive maintenance is always timely.

Real-Time Availability and Scheduling

Avoid double-booking critical devices with real-time stock availability. The integrated rental and maintenance calendar provides a complete overview of equipment allocations, helping healthcare providers plan effectively.

Subcontract PO Creation

When in-house medical devices are fully booked, the system facilitates subcontract purchase orders with preferred vendors, ensuring no gap in service availability for patients.
