Equipment, IT, and services to be made available to hospitals, healthcare equipment planners, architects, and purchasing groups early in the planning process

Agfa HealthCare, a leading provider of diagnostic imaging and healthcare IT solutions, announces today its relationship with Attainia, Inc., an industry-leading online source for capital equipment planning and management for the healthcare market, to make the company’s portfolio of products and solutions available through the online capital planning system.
Determining the best fit for each project’s needs
Attainia's web-based software allows equipment supply vendors to catalog their products in an online database. Using integrated planning and budgeting tools, hospitals, healthcare equipment planners, architects and purchasing groups can search the database and determine what products best fit their projects' needs, thereby allowing Agfa HealthCare's products to be considered early in the planning and budgeting process.
"We are pleased to offer Agfa HealthCare's full line of equipment, IT and services through Attainia's capital planning system," said Anil Singhal, MD, VP of Supplier Programs for Attainia. "Providing imaging and IT products from a trusted industry leader such as Agfa HealthCare will further enhance the services and offerings to our clients."
"Because some of our largest GPO customers use Attainia extensively, the relationship is a natural fit for Agfa HealthCare, giving us the ability to reach a broader audience, and allowing them access to our trusted products and services," said Ray Russell, director of marketing and corporate accounts for Agfa HealthCare's U.S. operations.
