When selecting potential service providers, a high quality estimation of the total cost of ownership (TCO) plays a key role. In the context of an invitation to tender for development and operation of a new IT software solution for connecting diagnostic analysis equipment and near-patient laboratory diagnostic equipment, information systems, middleware and other software solutions to the customer network, a requirements catalog is compiled together with the customer in order to estimate total operating costs. This is then checked for completeness and consistency, coordinated and documented.
Supplement
Connecting diagnostic analysis equipment and near-patient laboratory diagnostic equipment, information systems, middleware and other software solutions to the in-house network is increasingly important for companies. In addition to ensuring continuous operation, this connection makes it possible to analyze data systematically.
Subject description
The customer-developed diagnostic analysis equipment and near-patient laboratory diagnostic equipment covers a broad range of analyses of blood, urine, tissue and other patient samples, and the equipment makes it possible to analyze the quantitative and qualitative results using medical and statistical methods, thereby enabling a diagnosis, the definition of treatment and/or monitoring the success of treatment.
