description: 'FOCUS-aligned FinOps shape for Baxter DeviceBridge: bundled hospital services agreement
  rather than per-API-call billing. Cost is tied to the connected-device fleet (infusion pumps, monitors)
  and integration scope rather than to API request volume.'
notes: No public rate card. Replace meter values with the customer's negotiated DeviceBridge scope and
  per-device economics once available.

principles:
  - name: Visibility
    description: Track connected-device count, EMR integration scope, and integration uptime via the
      hospital's biomed and IT operations dashboards.
  - name: Allocation
    description: Allocate platform cost across hospital units (ICU, oncology, peri-op) by connected-device
      count and infusion-volume per unit.
  - name: Optimization
    description: Right-size connected-device scope each renewal — only instrument devices where EMR auto-documentation
      saves nursing time or improves medication-safety metrics.
  - name: Accountability
    description: Assign biomed/IT joint ownership of the DeviceBridge engagement; review uptime, integration
      changes, and renewal scope quarterly.
