Equiply Featured in News is My Business on Improving Hospital Financial Health
News is My Business features Equiply and its mission to help hospitals in Puerto Rico improve financial health through smarter equipment planning.
Equiply was recently featured in News is My Business, highlighting how equipment planning plays a critical role in the financial health and sustainability of hospitals in Puerto Rico.
The article explores the challenges hospitals face when making medical equipment decisions without a structured, data-driven approach. It shares how Equiply was created to help health systems plan equipment investments more intentionally, aligning clinical needs with operational realities and financial viability.
In the interview, Equiply co-founder Oscar Misla explains how hospitals often purchase equipment reactively, without comparing alternatives or understanding whether a department’s patient flow and cash generation can support the investment. These rushed decisions can lead to overspending, underutilized assets, and increased financial strain. Equiply was built to address this gap by analyzing equipment lifecycle data alongside departmental cash flow and usage metrics.
The feature also traces the origins of Equiply back to firsthand experience in clinical engineering and healthcare technology management. While working closely with hospitals in Puerto Rico, the team saw how capital decisions were often made too late, using data only after financial damage had already occurred. That insight led to the development of a platform designed to bring clarity earlier in the decision-making process.
Unlike traditional solutions that focus primarily on maintenance or expiration dates, Equiply evaluates both the condition of equipment and the financial context surrounding its use. This dual perspective helps hospitals understand not only when equipment should be replaced, but whether the organization is financially prepared to do so responsibly.
We are grateful to News is My Business for sharing this story and highlighting the importance of disciplined equipment planning. Improving the financial health of hospitals directly supports their ability to deliver consistent, high-quality patient care. That mission continues to guide our work as we support health systems across Puerto Rico and beyond.
