Experience suggests that a full inventory conducted early in the project
schedule usually proves to be futile. Time allows for the movement and
addition of assets and lost items requiring another inventory, hence Source
Atlantic conducts a scaled down evaluation or assessment of existing equipment.
The assessment permits Source Atlantic to take a brief evaluation of
existing assets allowing for the development of early-stage budgets.
Source Atlantic can evaluate and recommend whether an asset should be
marked for relocation or liquidation. Our Assessment Team can review
all major items of equipment, looking to identify those with current
and future value. The location, condition and basic information of a
“movable” piece of equipment will be collected. The assessment
is also a crucial point in the development of long-term Capital Forecasting
and Replacement Programs.
The inventory phase consists of collecting data from all the items of
medical equipment with a purchase value of over $500.00 within existing
spaces that will move to the new facility. The Source Atlantic team
will collect the following data:
1. Existing asset tag number
2. Type of equipment (Radiology, Surgery, etc.)
3. Item Description
4. Location
5. Manufacturer
6. Condition / Age
7. Serial Number
Compiled data will be used for the creation of detailed move plans,
qualification of any previous assessments, and the creation of multi-year
forecasting plans.
Source Atlantic can position its staff and technology to be the pivot
point of any project. We provide clear navigation through user reviews,
vendor demonstrations/interviews and architectural design meetings.
Accepted with this responsibility Source Atlantic will provide structured
data based on the outcome of these sessions. This will provide a structured
environment for ease in reporting and review.
Source Atlantic’s Managers and Planners work closely with our
client's management teams, clinicians or researchers, and architects
to develop preliminary equipment budgets and space equipment lists.
During this phase, Source Atlantic can begin preliminary qualification
of the specifications by coordinating equipment location reports, drawings
and cutsheets. As the project matures, Source Atlantic works hand and
hand with the owner and architect to ensure drawings and documents always
reflect the most recent edits and revisions.
The focus during this process is the completion and sign-off of equipment
lists and budgets concurrent with the design effort. Lists will include
(Groups 1-5) reuse and equipment identified for replacement. Project
Managers and Planners are active participants during this phase of clinical
user reviews. During these reviews, Source Atlantic can provide all
of the necessary electrical, mechanical and dimensional data required
for the engineers and architects to complete space design.
In executing this phase Source Atlantic proactively populates it’s
online database with all of the pre-identified medical and laboratory
equipment. This allows the architect, engineers, and end users to produce
their own detailed reports and cutsheets. Reports include but are not
limited to:
• Equipment Location – Lists equipment and the spaces in
which that specific piece of equipment is located.
• Space-by-Space Equipment – Lists all spaces/rooms and
each piece of equipment allocated to it.
• AEM (Architectural, Electrical & Mechanical data)
• Executive Summary Reports
All reports can include the cost and AEM data or not, based on selected
report options, and can include empty spaces and departments or not.
Each report includes purchase and installation responsibility codes
(i.e. which party is responsible for purchasing and which is responsible
for installation), and the same code identifies any items to be reused
as existing. Funding codes identify any and all funding sources. These
same reports identify Bid Package by type or Vendor assignment to expedite
and maximize procurement efforts. They further include secondary power
requirements, emergency power requirements, blocking, rough-in requirements,
and more. Reports are customizable based on the filter and sort that
the user elects. All data and reports are available for use and export
24/7 via Source Atlantic’s web based planning and management solution
named HOURGLASS. In support of the reports Source Atlantic can make
available cutsheets for the architectully significant equipment in disc
form or hard copy.
During the planning phase of our work, Source Atlantic will begin the
placement of specified equipment in assigned rooms. The equipment placed
will include significant equipment, or that having significant footprint
and/or service connection. When supplied with Auto Cad version 2000
background floor plans, Source Atlantic can create “Plan View”
Auto Cad version 2000 drawings with equipment on a separate layer.
