The American Society for Healthcare Engineering of the American Hospital Association Introduces New Online ASHE Pages Buyers Guide

Chicago -  October 9, 2007 -  The American Society for Healthcare Engineering (ASHE), a personal membership group of the American Hospital Association, announced the launch of its new online buyers guide, ASHE Pages. Available on the ASHE web site homepage (www.ashe.org), this unique directory enables decision- makers in the healthcare engineering and facilities management profession worldwide to locate the industry-specific products and services they need.

ASHE Pages is a powerful search engine that continually indexes the web sites of all companies represented in the directory. Visitors can easily locate products and services unique to the industry without the clutter of a general Internet search. Within ASHE Pages, users have the option of performing keyword-driven searches that mirror traditional search engines, or a category-specific search. Both methods produce the most relevant results on the Web.

With the downloadable desktop search application, users have the ability to search for products and services directly from a small search window on their desktops, making the search process as convenient and time-efficient as possible. ASHE Pages also includes a Request for Information (RFI) tool, enabling users to contact a group of suppliers with one click of a button.

ASHE Pages will help our members and other industry professionals save time while efficiently finding the products and services they want and need," said Dale Woodin, CHFM, SASHE, ASHE’s executive director. “ASHE is excited to be able to offer this powerful business tool to the field and we see it as a valuable enhancement to our web site”   
ASHE partnered with MultiView, Inc, an Irving, Texas-based publisher of industry-specific search engines and supplier directories, to develop the ASHE Pages. “ASHE recognizes the benefits of closely aligning decision makers with suppliers”, said Dan Maitland, MultiView President.  “ASHE Pages saves facilities managers, engineers, clinical engineering/medical equipment managers, and professionals in the fields of facility management, healthcare design, construction and safety an incredible amount of time as they seek the specific products and services they need.”
