Guides and Resources

Practical guides for hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and specialty practices handling surplus, retired, or decommissioned equipment. Each covers the process end to end — what to inventory, how to sequence removal, what documentation to keep, and where projects usually go wrong. Written for the people who actually run these projects.
