The purpose of this assignment is to provide justification of a
capital purchase using decision-making skills, research, and data.

You are responsible for finding replacement capital pieces for the
radiology department. You have just been notified that the MRI scanner
machines are obsolete and need to be replaced. Compare and contrast
different vendors and ROI using the “Vendor Information
Sheet” resource.

   what essential “items” should you consider before
   purchasing an item?
2. Using the “Vendor Information
   Sheet,” determine what a reasonable ROI is?
3. What are
   the minimum quality standards? Is there additional training required
   to operate the equipment?
4. Choose the vendor that fits the
   need of the hospital and has the best ROI. Justify your chosen
   capital purchase.
