Participant Testimonials

"CMEPP (The Canadian Medical Equipment Protection Plan) has been a very positive addition to our comprehensive Corporate and Regional Equipment Maintenance Program since joining two years ago. Partnering with other Health Systems to ensure timely service and promote internal medical device support has been enhanced through savings achieved in all participating modalities. Overall, the program educates participants about reliable equipment, and increases savings that may be used to promote biomedical training, capital planning, and patient safety."

"CMEPP provides an outstanding service to our hospital. Their representatives are knowledgeable, responsive, and provide timely and valuable information and recommendations. The service to clinical areas is commendable, while the cost savings to our hospital is a real benefit in times when fiscal resources are a continuous challenge. I would readily recommend the CMEPP service/program to other facilities."

"CMEPP provides a collaborative, responsible approach to equipment service needs that is both cost effective and beneficial."

Alexandra Marine & General Hospital
Goderich, Ontario

"Since Joining CMEPP in 2004 our Regional Health Authority has achieved a significant annual cost savings as compared to OEM service agreements without jeopardizing medical equipment up-time on high-end diagnostic medical equipment. CMEPP has allowed us to take better fiscal control of high end service costs and prepare for "urgent repairs" through the creation of "savings pools" to cover catastrophic high-end equipment repairs such as glassware in diagnostic imaging equipment. As a CMEPP member we now speak as a unified voice of members across Canada to manufactures to achieve optimum service value."

"The CMEPP program allows me to manage a very complex portfolio of maintenance for varying forms of equipment across numerous services in Diagnostics. We save money on an ongoing basis. I would not hesitate to recommend CMEPP to anyone considering the program."

"When I first heard about CMEPP, I kept thinking there was a catch to the program; however, 4 years later, we have had nothing but significant, consistent savings year after year. CMEPP has delivered the results our hospital needs. We would recommend the program to any hospital."

  Bruce Irwin
Vice President, Corporate Services
Headwaters Health Care Corporation

"Soon as I began my position at QHC, Bob (Hooper) came down and explained the program to me. I have found the program easy to access and to understand. I always receive a quick response to any questions."

  Cheryl Harrison
Laboratory Manager
Quinte Health Care
Belleville, Ontario

"CMEPP provides substantial savings over individually contracted service providers. They also allow for consolidation of equipment service agreements, which reduces the administrative time spent at our hospital, as CMEPP tracks all contracts and works with the service providers. CMEPP also provides peace of mind for the end users in the Diagnostic Imaging and Laboratory departments."
