A report issued by DOTmed Business News, indicates that the prospects for the medical equipment and healthcare technology leasing markets are improving.

This special report quotes Mark French, the president of Crest Capital as stating “Medical equipment leasing has been steady. Most of the other vertical markets have declined since 2009, but medical equipment is one of only three areas that has held steady.”

The report also noted that while medical equipment leasing has been stable, healthcare related software has experienced strong growth, particularly in the area of electronic medical records (EMR). According to Mark French, “Every year over the past three years, medical leasing in IT has almost doubled. The tax incentive is definitely driving the market. It’s a phenomenon.”
