What does your perfusion service actually cost per case?
Most hospitals cannot answer that question. The spend sits across a staffing invoice, a supply account, and an equipment line, and nobody owns the total. We will assemble it for you and show you how it compares — at no cost, with nothing to buy at the end.
You do not need to be a multi-hospital system. Single-site cardiac programs are often where the largest per-case gaps sit, because there is no volume leverage and no one internally whose job is to audit the perfusion line.
Reviewed personally by Gary Plancher, CCP, MHA — 25 years in cardiovascular perfusion. Gate Medicals sells no perfusion labor, so we have nothing to gain from what the analysis finds.

Six questions, about a minute. No data gathering required to start.
We build the analysis
Reviewed personally against national ranges and comparable programs. If we need a document to sharpen a number, we ask for that one thing.
You get a written read
Yours to keep and circulate internally. If there is nothing to fix, we will tell you that.
What is the catch?
There isn't one, and there is no obligation to buy anything. We do this because most programs discover they need ongoing oversight only after they see the numbers. If yours doesn't, that is a perfectly good outcome and we will say so.
Do I have to send you data?
No. The questions on this page are enough to start. If a document would materially sharpen a number, we will ask for that one thing — and you can decline.
Is any patient information involved?
None. This is a financial and operational analysis: invoices, contracts, supply spend, staffing. Never send patient data, and we will never ask for it.
We are small. Is this worth it?
Usually more so. Smaller programs have less purchasing leverage and rarely have anyone internally auditing the perfusion line, so the per-case gap tends to be wider than at large systems.
