There are no shortcuts here, you’re about to embark on a long journey with one of these clinic providers.
Here are some steps to consider before moving into your purchase decision:
As you move closer to a decision, request presentations from your final vendors for your leadership team. Examine their solutions for issues specifically related to your population. When you understand a vendor’s proposed approach you can move confidently into your purchase decision.
It’s critical that you enter a purchase decision with all members of your core decision-making team already on board. Ask lots of questions, embrace a discovery-oriented process, and make a commitment to move forward as a unified group of collaborators.
The purchase decision phase also represents an early opportunity to form a solid partnership with your on-site clinic vendor.
Don’t be afraid to get what you need, vendors are there to help. You’re going to invest a lot of money so you want a partner, not a sales rep.
Expect some growing pains during the purchase decision.
