The Need for Medical Equipment Asset Disposition (MEAD)
New developments pose a constant challenge for healthcare providers, such as the strategy for disposing of medical equipment that is at the end of its life cycle.
Evolving and progressing technologies in healthcare have enabled providers to care for patients at an optimal level. The emergence of new technologies also means that current products and equipment will soon be obsolete. These new developments pose a constant challenge for healthcare providers. One such challenge is medical equipment asset disposition (MEAD) to safely and securely dispose of medical equipment at the end of its life cycle. The logistics process for disposal can be complex depending on the type of information and data stored within the devices along with the type of device. Healthcare providers are tasked with developing new strategies to replace existing products and disposing of old products, all while caring for their patients. New medical product implementations and configurations require many resources and immediate usage. While providers are devising processes for new products, it can be difficult to manage the process of properly disposing of old medical equipment and data.

Data Security is Complicated

GCI will never send medical equipment or devices to landfills without proper care and disposal. We implement a secure destruction process to ensure that all data, records, health information, and other proprietary data is permanently deleted. This process for disposal ensures client security according to EPA standards and policies.
We provide on-site data destruction, to provide our client peace of mind in the disposal process. The medical equipment is completely destroyed before leaving the premises. We also provide offsite destruction within a secured location if on-site destruction is not an option. Once the destruction process is complete, GCI will provide a certificate and a detailed audit report to account for all devices and equipment for accurate records. Our ultimate goal is to provide our clients with a disposition process that protects healthcare providers and patients by securely destroying confidential health information and data.
As a trusted and certified service, GCI takes a complicated process off the shoulders of clients to manage the MEAD process and data destruction in a secure and cost-effective manner.
