16 Calculators — GI, Capital, Devices & Disposables
Built for CFOs, CMOs, OR Directors, Supply Chain, Infection Control, and Physician Champions.
Revenue & Reimbursement
Capital & Finance
Clinical & Operational
📦 Devices & Disposables
For Supply Chain, Infection Control, and VP Purchasing. These calculators quantify the true cost of your device — reprocessing labor, chemical costs, IFU compliance, GPO tier savings, and multi-vendor consolidation value.
VAC Strategy: Run CPT Revenue + Payback Period for CFO. Device Conversion + Reprocessing Cost for Infection Control. Multi-Vendor Consolidation for VP Purchasing. Show Physician Income Impact one-on-one before the VAC — never in the group meeting.
