A new Kaufman Hall report shows the degree to which hospitals entered 2026 facing rising costs—especially for supplies, drugs, and labor. In this economic environment, “good enough” pricing can be an expensive assumption. Even if you're getting the exact same price on medical equipment as you did last year, the quote may still miss huge savings opportunities through discounts, trade-ins, installation/training cost reductions, and more. When cost pressure is persistent, only the best information can enable the best cost-savings outcomes.

A new AHA report found that hospital expenses in 2025 increased TWICE as fast as prices did—while reimbursements stayed flat.
Workforce expenses usually get the most attention for tightening budgets, but equipment costs are an often-overlooked source of huge financial savings. Having the right information about medical equipment can save hospitals millions each year, providing more financial flexibility and additional resources to focus on what matters most: delivering high-quality patient care. #Hospitals #MedicalEquipmentBenchmarking #OperationalEfficiency

March is Women's History Month!
AAMC reports that for the first time ever, a majority of U.S. medical residents are women (50.2%). We celebrate this achievement, and we also remember the gender difference in medical equipment itself. Lots of supplies and equipment—from gowns and gloves to scopes and scalpels—were not designed to fit the average woman, and research shows that using mis-sized equipment can cause negative effects ranging from impostor syndrome to adverse patient outcomes. Supply chain professionals have the unique opportunity to accommodate the changing physician landscape with the products you procure! #WomensHistoryMonth #MedicalEquipment #WomenInHealthcare #HealthcareInnovation
February 28th is Rare Disease Day, calling attention to the nearly 1 in 10 Americans currently living with any of 7,000+ known rare diseases. Thank you to the researchers searching for cures, the physicians providing ongoing care, and the supply chain professionals working to keep treatments for rare diseases as affordable and accessible as possible! #RareDiseaseDay #HealthcareHeroes #UniteForRare
A recent study found that 88% of health systems are utilizing AI...but only 18% have a governance/privacy strategy in place. Protecting user data is an essential component to any good AI-driven tool, which is why Miga EVMS® was purpose-built to anonymize and aggregate user data. You'll never see anyone else's data, and no one will ever see yours. What does your benchmarking tool do to protect your data? If you don't know, you need to ask! #Healthcare #AI #MedicalEquipmentBenchmarking https://t.co/wrbKnhuASA
Increasingly, financial strain is forcing health systems to stall or abandon important projects, even when there's a clear need and long-term opportunity. Finding creative solutions during tough economic times can be difficult, but Miga's wealth of marketplace services—contract negotiation, asset optimization, and more—can help every dollar stretch a little bit further. What could better information help your hospital accomplish this year? https://t.co/KmnqiMHZng
It's no secret that artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the healthcare industry. And while AI physician avatars and diagnostic tools are getting most of the attention, the advent of AI in medical equipment benchmarking is no less profound. That's why our award-winning Miga EVMS® platform pairs the industry's most complete dataset with proven AI-driven comparison tools, delivering even deeper insights and greater value than ever before. Can your hospital's benchmarking platform do that? #Healthcare #AI #MedicalEquipmentBenchmarking
The Winter Olympics are in full swing, and they haven’t disappointed! In many events, a few hundredths of a second can be the difference between winning gold and missing the podium completely. In the hospital supply chain world, a few dollars can make the same kind of difference. They might not seem like much, but small cost avoidances for your team can translate to huge savings for your hospital—and right now, every dollar counts. It takes a really motivated person to want to shave a few extra milliseconds off their time, and it takes a similarly motivated person to want to save a few extra dollars on a purchase. That's why Miga EVMS was designed to help high performers go further and reach for a personal best with every quote. Here's to going for gold in 2026! #WinterOlympics #BudgetSavings #MedicalEquipmentBenchmarking
February is National Heart Month! Cardiovascular equipment is one of the largest and fastest-growing areas of spend, and many hospitals are seeing rising costs in cardiac care specifically put increased pressure on their capital budgets. When it comes to making savings a priority in 2026, is your hospital's heart in the right place? #NationalHeartMonth #MedicalEquipmentBenchmarking #HospitalFinance

CT utilization is surging (now topping 90 million scans annually in the U.S.) as demand grows across emergency, oncology, and cardiac care. As CT equipment prices continue to rise, how can you be sure that you're getting the best price when adding to your fleet? Answer: having the best information. That's why our Miga EVMS® benchmarking platform contains 2,300+ price entries for CT scanners alone, and thousands more for coaches, workstations, contrast injectors, and related equipment. Using the most complete dataset available, Miga EVMS empowers you to know the right price for your next CT—and then get it. #Healthcare #CTScanners #MedicalEquipmentBenchmarking https://t.co/1cItCsedB1
Winter storm Fern has caused significant strain on the medical supply chain of many states, with road closures and hazardous travel conditions delaying the delivery of critical supplies. Disruptions like winter storms often present a particularly difficult challenge, coinciding with already increased patient demand (flu, COVID, RSV, etc.). Our hearts go out to all the supply chain professionals, care providers, and patients impacted by the storm during this difficult time. If there’s anything Miga Solutions can do to connect your hospital with equipment, supplies, or other resources, please send us an email at [email protected].
A recent article in The Journal of Healthcare Contracting perfectly illustrates why precision matters more than ever when reporting savings. Supply chain savings are rarely straightforward, and they don’t always reconcile cleanly into your hospital’s P&L. That’s why Miga EVMS® lets you close a request by selecting from real-world outcomes, helping you better account for precise financial differences like cost savings vs. cost avoidance. Having the best information is critical—because “close enough” is never close enough. #Hospitals #HospitalBudget #MedicalEquipmentBenchmarking
