    Executive Summary:
    Edinburg Regional Medical Center and Childrens Hospital is requesting
    approval to replace our existing Toshiba CT scanners with 2 Toshiba Prime
    40 slice CT scanners.
    Edinburg Regional Medical Center is an accredited chest pain center. We
    are one of two accredited chest pain centers in the Rio Grande Valley. We
    are a trauma level IV center for the McAllen/Edinburg area.

    This purchase is essential to the strategic


    positioning of Edinburg Regional Medical
    Center as a premier Imaging Center in the
    Rio Grande Valley.
    The replacement of our current CT scanners
    is vital in maintaining our current volumes,
    but also to further develop our imaging
    services.

    The current CTs are now over 10 and 11


    years old.
    The purchase of the new CTs will give us
    numerous advantages over our current
    technology.
    This will bring us into XR-29 compliance
    The new systems will produce a lower
    amount of radiation per exam compared to
    our current system. In some cases, there is a
    50-75% reduction in radiation.
    The Prime 40 system utilizes AIDR 3 D, this
    removes noise from the image, which allows
    for less radiation to be used to acquire a
    diagnostic image.

    The bore (opening) on the Prime 40 CT scanners are


    larger than the current systems in operation This
    allows us to scan larger patients.
    The larger bore also reduces the claustrophobic
    feelings of our patients.
    This larger bore also gives the physician more working
    room when performing biopsies under fluoroscopy.
    The table weight on these scanners is 660lbs, which is
    substantially higher than the current 450lbs.
    The new CT scanners have shorter scan times. will
    decrease breath hold times.
    The image reconstruction speed is 300% faster. This
    allows for a faster exam time
    The new scanners will have SEMAR (Single Energy
    Metal Artifact Reduction) which greatly reduces/
    eliminates blooming artifacts in orthopedic imaging
    from metal hardware in the patient.

    Competitor Analysis:

    The majority of the competitors in the area have older CT scanners. This
    gives Edinburg Regional and Childrens Hospital a competitive edge.
    Mission Regional, Knapp Medical, Valley Baptist, Valley Regional,
    Doctors Hospital Renaissance (Imaging Centers and Womens Centers),
    McAllen MRI Center, other private Imaging Centers all have older CT
    scanners.

    Operating Plan:
    These new CT scanners will be operated out of the Edinburg Regional
    adult side and the Childrens Hospital Pedi side.
    There will be no need for additional staffing due to this purchase.
    The entire project will require 12-16 weeks of downtime. During this
    period, CTs will be performed at ERMC and then switched over to
    Childrens.

    Marketing Plan:
    The new CT Scanners will be marketed heavily using the following
    avenues:
    Open house/ tour of the suite
    Physician office visits
    Articles in the physician newsletter
    Direct mail
    Articles in the Health News Community Newsletter
    Employee newsletter

    Risks:
    If the new CT scanners are not purchased, the CT department and its
    capabilities will fall further behind technologically as compared to the
    community. As a result, our scanners will not meet XR-29 compliance and
    we will start losing Medicare/ Medicaid funding and general insurance
    reimbursements.
