Bridging the Gap Between Customers and Cash
As the healthcare reform bill now remains in the control of the Senate, President Obama is urging them to approve a bill by the end of the year. While the government is still debating whether the current healthcare reform act will, indeed, lower the cost of care to consumers, something certain is a signed piece of important legislation, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, that reduces the burden of innovation, improvement and infrastructure to the nation’s most critical industries, including healthcare.
Each year the federal government provides approximately $400 billion in grants for a wide range of purposes, and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is adding about $380 billion to those annual funding amounts between 2009 and 2011. Funding for technology projects that meet community and civic economic development, safety and growth objectives and small-to-medium enterprise growth (among other criteria) is available like never before. Sure, the government’s motive is largely practical – to rebuild the sectors hurt by the financial downturn and reinforce growth industries so that the national economy grows– but businesses stand to reap the benefits of increased funding access.
Because Dynamic’s RFID and RTLS solutions directly help reduce costs, minimize risks and improve patient care, many of our solutions are eligible for purchase with government grant money. But how do you know what you don’t know? Through a new partnership with IMGrants, a funding research program offered by Ingram Micro to qualified resellers, we now have the ability to help you identify, apply for and maximize federal funds, including those that are a result of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, as well as state and foundation grant sources for projects. It’s not a bail out…it’s an equalizer to keep your business alive and competitive. Take advantage.
