What's inside

Ten concrete data points, each with a "what to do" action checklist.

01

Disposables Cost Per Case

The single most actionable metric in perfusion economics.

02

Contract Labor Utilization

Are you paying for coverage you don't actually use?

03

Equipment Lifecycle

Heart-lung machines, monitors — reacting or planning?

04

Joint Commission Readiness

Documentation gaps that produce the most survey citations.

05

Vendor Pricing Transparency

What you're actually paying — and why.

06

The 5 Contract Clauses

Vendors won't volunteer them. You can negotiate every one.

07

FTE Model Validation

Staffed for your case volume or your vendor's revenue?

08

Protocol Standardization

Unwarranted variability is a cost driver and a safety risk.

09

Quality & Outcomes Integration

Every cost decision paired with a clinical outcome metric.

10
