Have any of you developed a good 5-year Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) equation that also takes into account the other variables such as training costs, which is driven by cost per employee hour and total number of hours; upgrade costs and additional training time; depreciation schedules; etc. It seems that there are also a number of intangibles such as ease of training, implementation and reduction of physician frustration that should be considered.
