Kodak adds three suppliers to PCMA

Kodak has added E-Z-EM, Medrad, and Nycomed as preferred suppliers under Kodak's Procedure Cost Management Alliance (PCMA) program, which will allow customers to purchase E-Z-EM barium products, MedRad injectors and syringes, and Nycomed contrast materials through a network of Kodak distributors. Designed to aid healthcare facilities to reduce the resources they devote to inventory management, product handling, and purchasing functions, the PCMA program helps facilities develop standardized imaging protocols. The standardization process helps the imaging department better understand and control the cost of each imaging procedure, according to the Rochester, NY-based company.
