Fleet Standardization Versus Multi-Vendor Heterogeneity in Hospital-Based Hemodialysis Units: An Operational and Economic Evaluation Framework

Hospital-based hemodialysis departments must make procurement decisions that affect equipment availability, maintenance, clinical workflows, and long-term expenditure. One important decision is whether to standardize the department's dialysis machines around a single manufacturer or maintain a fleet comprising equipment from multiple manufacturers.
