One of the most surprising reasons for America’s crippling healthcare costs is the estimated $16 billion USD worth of supplies and equipment or “medical surplus” that hospitals waste or underutilize every year. Kentucky-based Healthcare Asset Network (HAN) is an asset recovery and alternative sourcing platform that allows healthcare systems to buy and sell high-quality excess medical inventory, supplies, and equipment at competitive rates via its desktop and mobile applications. Independent studies have found that HAN’s platform shortens the selling time by 85%, and generates annual savings of $225,000 per hospital in asset recovery alone. Operating in the $40 billion medical global medical surplus market, HAN endeavors to become the platform for trading secondary healthcare assets in country, and aims for significant international expansion within the next three years.
