MCR Consultants
How Can I Help?
MCR Consultants are assigned to healthcare facilities within defined regions so they can develop a meaningful understanding of each organization’s priorities, equipment needs, and operational challenges.
Rather than asking clients to search the MCR Marketplace themselves, the consultant brings MCR’s resources directly to the facility. That support may include locating cost-effective equipment options, identifying buyers for unused or underutilized assets, evaluating equipment alternatives, exploring financing opportunities, and connecting clients with qualified resources for equipment care, maintenance, service, repair, and transportation.
The goal is to build a long-term relationship in which the MCR Consultant becomes a trusted, knowledgeable resource—someone the facility can turn to whenever a capital-equipment need or opportunity arises.
MCR Consultants are the cornerstone of the MCR model—bringing the marketplace, financial resources, purchasing support, and equipment solutions directly to the clients they serve.
Utilization
MCR Consultants can assist healthcare facility staff in reviewing equipment utilization to help identify assets that may be underused, unnecessarily duplicated, suitable for redeployment, or candidates for resale.
Needs Assessment
MCR Consultants can work with facility staff to better understand upcoming equipment needs, clinical requirements, budget considerations, timing, and acceptable alternatives before beginning a search.
Valuation
MCR Consultants can assist facility staff and administrators in developing estimated market valuations for used capital equipment by reviewing available market information, comparable equipment, age, condition, configuration, and other relevant factors.
Listings
MCR Consultants can prepare and manage MCR Marketplace listings for clients seeking to sell unused or underutilized equipment and help identify opportunities to recover value from assets that are no longer needed.
Searches
When a client needs equipment, the MCR Consultant can search the private MCR Marketplace and MCR's network of healthcare facilities, brokers, resellers, and equipment providers to identify potential solutions.
Alternatives
MCR Consultants can help clients compare new, used, refurbished, rental, and alternative-brand equipment options so facilities can evaluate solutions based on cost, capabilities, clinical requirements, and total value.
Market Comparisons
MCR Consultants can assist clients in comparing available equipment, pricing, secondary-market values, and alternative sourcing options to provide additional information for capital-purchasing decisions.
Negotiation Support
MCR Consultants can assist buyers and sellers with communications involving equipment pricing, transaction terms, timing, and other commercial considerations during negotiations.
Financing
When financing may be appropriate, MCR Consultants can connect clients with qualified financing resources through the MCR Financial Network and help facilitate introductions to providers experienced in healthcare capital equipment.
Rental Solutions
For temporary, transitional, or short-term equipment needs, MCR Consultants can help identify potential rental opportunities when available through the MCR network.
Logistics
MCR Consultants can connect clients with qualified logistics providers experienced in the handling, relocation, and transportation of healthcare capital equipment and help coordinate introductions when shipping or specialized transportation is required.
Service & Repair
Through the MCR Purchasing Network, consultants can help connect clients with selected providers offering preventive maintenance, equipment service, repair, replacement parts, extended service solutions, and other resources that support the ongoing care of capital equipment.
System Sharing
For multi-site healthcare organizations, MCR Consultants can help identify opportunities to move underutilized equipment between facilities before additional equipment is purchased or rented.
Training
MCR Consultants can help clients identify available equipment training resources and connect facility staff with manufacturers, sellers, service providers, or other qualified organizations that can provide appropriate training for newly acquired equipment.
Coordination
MCR Consultants can remain involved throughout an equipment transaction by helping coordinate communications among buyers, sellers, financing providers, logistics companies, service providers, and other parties as needed.
Ongoing Support
Most importantly, the MCR Consultant serves as an ongoing resource for the healthcare facility. As equipment needs, budgets, service lines, and priorities change, clients have a familiar point of contact who can help connect those challenges with the appropriate MCR resources.
