Many medical devices cost more than the purchase price when considering usage, maintenance and disposal costs. Evaluating these hidden costs before purchasing will help hospitals save money and reduce environmental impacts.

Practice Greenhealth and partners have developed the Greenhealth Cost of Ownership (GCO) Calculator that brings these hidden costs to the surface. Using a standardized framework, the tool helps purchasers assess and compare costs, and make cost-saving decisions.

The GCO Calculator helps hospitals compare products, evaluate impacts, and save.
