Technology Strategic Planning Process

MTAC Involvement in Budgeting (continued):

As a last step, the Capital Budget Committee, or a designated ad hoc team from materials management and clinical engineering, is appointed to review the final capital budget listing to recommend when the items should be purchased during the next year and, if possible, to determine if there should be negotiated, centralized, and coordinated acquisition processes planned for similar items from different departments. Determination of optimal financing methods for technology acquisition are discussed in Section 5.
