Eastern MA: Moving the Small Medical Practice

June 17, 2011 by admin

What is the best way to move a small medical practice in Boston?

Unlike many other small businesses, medical practices have some unique considerations to take into account when they have to change locations. Downtime due to the move must be kept to a minimum to avoid inconveniencing patients and physicians; diagnostic and medical equipment must be moved safely and securely, and there is always the issue of patient records, which must be kept absolutely confidential for legal reasons.

For these reasons, it is a good idea for the medical practice to secure the services of an experienced professional Boston moving company.  With an eye on the bottom line, some practices have tried moving themselves, using only in-house employees to handle the task, but there are many problems with this approach:

  • Downtime: The pros are faster, no doubt about it.  Having your employees move your practice requires them to learn how the best ways to pack and ship everything as they go.  Mistakes will be made this way, and the entire process takes longer.  To avoid inconveniencing your patients, you want to keep downtime to a minimum.
  • Logistics: Does your staff have the strength, insight, and ability to move bulky pieces of equipment easily? Something as simple as an exam table can weigh several hundred pounds.  Diagnostic equipment is particularly heavy – and if you lease your medical equipment, your lease may require that it only be moved by licensed professionals.
  • Liability: Professional moving companies offer a range of coverage options to protect your interests if items get damaged, lost, or stolen while in transit.  This is coverage you won’t have if you’re attempting to move your medical practice on your own.  Additionally, think of the impact employee injuries incurred during the move will have on your liability insurance rates.  Outsourcing the move to a professional Eastern MA moving company will reduce your risk exposure.

"We could not believe how well packed our Windsor chair and Sheraton bench were packed as they had to travel from Cape Cod, Ma to a suburb of San Francisco in Ca. They arrived in perfect condition and what would you expect? Each piece was packed in their own box, wrapped completely, and anchored so they could not move inside their respective boxes. Then, Boston Ship and Pack secured the boxes on a wooden pallet. The Dish Pack with family heirlooms was packed as carefully by the company's professional packers. All our treasures arrived safely. This is not the first time we have used Boston Pack and Ship and it won't be the last. Thanks Bill and your team for making our move worry-free. You spent a lot of time with us planning all the details of our sudden move. We can never thank you enough."
