Introduction to Asset Management (Aspiring Leaders Session, CLIMB 2025)

Asset management encompasses many facets. There is replacement and purchase of additional equipment. In conjunction, a medical imaging manager must prepare capital budgets and justifications to replace or add the equipment. A manager must consider construction costs, information services costs, engineering costs and service costs in the proposed purchase. Financial options must be evaluated and a manager must prioritize the capital budget for senior leadership and/or board. Asset management includes analyzing the useful life of the equipment and lifecycle costs such as maintenance, service, supplies and upgrades.
