SUMMARY/DISCUSSION
Total Repair Express (TRE) is a surgical instrument repair company that the surgical services department at Natividad Medical Center utilizes for repair and maintenance of instrumentation and equipment. The utilization of this services prevents the department from having to invest in the replacement of high cost items such as endoscopes. For a nominal fee NMC can repair these items through TRE as opposed to paying thousands of dollars per incident to replace. The amount requested for fiscal year 2012/13 is less than in previous fiscal years based upon analysis of historical spend with this vendor and the addition of an alternate vendor which can provide similar services, at times at a better rate.
