Lori Ritchey-Baldwin
CPA Chief Financial Officer · St. Elizabeth Healthcare

Lori directs financial performance, capital allocation, and enterprise decision-making at St. Elizabeth Healthcare. She brings the CFO view of medical equipment service: which evidence makes a service decision actionable, why service data belongs in capital planning, and how the St. Elizabeth HTM team moved from repair professionals to strategic contributors.

Health systems work to expand access, improve throughput, control operating expense, and get more value from capital already deployed. Medical equipment service sits inside every one of those priorities, because a critical asset creates clinical capacity only when it is available for care. Avoidable downtime removes that capacity quietly, often before anyone asks whether the organization needs another asset, more space, or more labor.

The traditional service question is who performs the repair. The executive question is what the service decision accomplishes. Lori Ritchey-Baldwin explains how a CFO evaluates that question: which evidence moves a service conversation from anecdotal to actionable, why the lowest contract price is not the lowest total cost, and how better data earned the HTM team a seat at the leadership table.
What you’ll learn
  • Capacity Before Capital.
    Where clinical capacity disappears to downtime, and how leaders quantify that loss before the organization pays to add assets, space, or labor.
  • Total Cost, Not Contract Price.
    Why downtime, repeat failures, emergency parts, workflow disruption, and administrative burden belong in the service economics a CFO reviews.
  • HTM at the Leadership Table.
    How performance data turns technical detail into the capacity, capital, cost, and workforce implications an executive team acts on.

Built for frontline HTM leadership

This session is most valuable if your day-to-day involves any of the following.

CFOs and Finance Leaders
You own capital allocation and operating expense, and you want service decisions supported by evidence rather than anecdote.
CEOs, COOs, and Chief Clinical Executives
You answer for access and throughput, and you need to know how much capacity downtime removes before you pay to add more.
HTM and Supply Chain Leaders
You hold the service and asset data, and you want it framed in the capacity, capital, and cost terms your executive team acts on.
