Healthcare providers across the United States face growing challenges every day. From shrinking budgets to increased patient demands, the challenges are undeniable as they strive to deliver exceptional care. That's why we introduced Probo re:new, it stands as a solution to the biggest obstacles providers face in modern healthcare: accessibility, sustainability and affordability. By focusing on these three critical pillars of healthcare, Probo re:new is transforming how organizations approach purchasing and utilizing medical imaging equipment to maximize patient outcomes.

 

 

Accessibility: Bringing Imaging to Underserved Communities

Access to quality imaging services is essential for timely diagnosis and effective treatment. However, disparities persist particularly in rural areas where decreased access is increasingly prevalent. Today, 24% of patients in rural areas are transferred hours away to tertiary emergency departments simply because quality imaging equipment isn’t available locally. (JCAR, Disparities in Radiology). These delays not only increase family and financial strain but often result in slower diagnoses and treatments.

With Probo re:new, we empower smaller and rural facilities to deliver top-tier care without prohibitive costs. This means families can access critical services closer to home, and more patients receive the timely care they deserve.

Sustainability: A Greener Future for Healthcare

The healthcare industry is one of the biggest contributors to global waste and carbon emissions today. The production of brand-new medical equipment generates substantial waste and consumes valuable resources. By contrast, refurbished equipment saves 30-50% of the waste generated by manufacturing new devices.

By choosing refurbished imaging equipment, healthcare providers can cut down on costs while making meaningful contributions to environmental sustainability. Every machine that gets a second life with Probo re:new helps to adopt eco-friendly practices and actively reduces the environmental footprint of medical imaging, paving the way for a more sustainable healthcare future.

Affordability: Making Quality Care Attainable

Healthcare facilities have faced relentless financial squeezes over the decades, forcing healthcare leaders to do more with less. Medicare reimbursement for diagnostic radiology has experienced a 44% reduction (Radiology Business, ‘22) and 68% of healthcare leaders expect budget decreases in the coming years (Company research conducted by a third-party).

Probo re:new provides a cost-effective alternative without compromising on quality. Refurbished equipment offers an average savings of 50% compared to new devices, allowing healthcare providers to stretch their budgets further. As one procurement leader from a US health system noted, "100% of our capital budget is brand new equipment – probably 60%+ should be refurbished."

By focusing on accessibility, sustainability, and affordability, Probo re:new is redefining how healthcare organizations approach medical imaging.
Together, these pillars create a powerful foundation for improving healthcare outcomes while addressing the financial and environmental challenges of today.
