Thanks Owen for bringing this up. We have done this type of cost-based analysis to improve BME services in the past and it always comes down to analyzing the 'Life Cycle Cost' of any BME device. However, this requires cross-facility benchmarking to determine the standard of service and service-quality as applicable industry-wide. That is the reason I use and recommend performance based measure of quality such as 'Lean Six Sigma'. Regards, Sanjeev Hiremath www.hiremaths.com.au
