Capital Equipment

The Capital Equipment Request Portal has allowed departments across UCLA Health to submit their requests electronically. After every successful CER Submission, an email acknowledgment with a control number will be sent to the requestor. This has provided end users the ability to quickly present their information and track their respective submissions' status across the approval process.

However, in some cases, a CER submission may not have enough pertinent information. In these cases, the Capital Equipment Committee cannot fully assess equipment requests and its merits, resulting in the CER being held for further research and/or information. Thus, in order to better evaluate and expedite capital equipment requests, we are pleased to announce an updated CER portal that includes new, relevant questions regarding construction, IT-related support, Clinical Engineering and total cost of ownership.

Every CER will now be reviewed by team members across Planning, Design and Construction (PDC), Information Services & Solutions (ISS), Clinical Engineering, Financial Services, and Procurement & Strategic Sourcing. Once all team members have reviewed and approved the CER, it will be presented to the Capital Equipment Committee. We believe that this review, including the information gathered, will greatly assist the Capital Equipment Committee's decision-making process.
