You approve the specifications
Clinical requirements and technical specifications remain your decision. The sourcing path is handled. Approval stays with the practice.
Through a dealer, specification decisions can become entangled with the lines the dealer happens to carry. Here the specification is set by your clinical and technical needs first, and the sourcing follows it.
How approval works
Step 1
The practice sets the clinical needs and technical requirements for the purchase.
Step 2
Options are aligned to the clinical standards used in practices the company owns and operates.
Step 3
The practice reviews the options and approves the specification.
Step 4
The practice approves the final selection.
Step 5
Only then is the equipment ordered, direct from the manufacturer.
Where our standards come in
The standards of the practices the company owns and operates are a reference point, not a mandate. They give the practice a grounded starting point for the specification, drawn from equipment already in daily use. The practice can weigh them against its own clinical needs and decide, and the decision is the practice's alone.
What you are not asked to give up
You are not asked to give up clinical judgment, technical requirements, or the final say. The practice is not asked to accept a specification because it is what a supplier happens to carry, and nothing is ordered on the practice's behalf without its approval.
Why specification control matters
The specification is where clinical needs become a purchase. When that step is influenced by what a dealer stocks or prefers, the practice can end up with equipment chosen for the dealer's convenience. Keeping specification control with the practice means the equipment is chosen for the operatory, and the sourcing path is built around that choice instead of the other way round.
