As hospital staff members, we know that you face many different challenges everyday in this changing market place. You are focusing on cost reductions, increasing patient safety and efficiency improvements.We’ve highlighted a few issues we know you are currently dealing with and present how we can help provide solutions to these challenges.
How can I protect and prolong my inventory investment?
Through our preventative maintenance program offered through our InSite labs and Van-based service, we can help prolong our customer’s instrument life cycle. We provide true pro-active maintenance with an emphasis on failure-prevention. Our preventative maintenance programs correct minor issues before they result in major repairs. Instruments that are inspected on a predetermined schedule are continuously properly maintained resulting in extended instrument life, reduced costs due to fewer replacement needs and over time fewer extensive repairs. See our InSite Repair Lab section and Van-based Service section to learn more. If you would like further information on our preventative maintenance programs, please contact us.
How can I reduce Hospital Acquired Infections or HAI’s?
In hospitals alone, there are approximately 1.7 million Hospital Acquired Infections or HAIs. 99,000 patients die every year from a preventable hospital infection. One of the main causes of HAI’s is improperly cleaned and sterilized instrumentation. Through our preventative maintenance programs, we can help reduce the excessive levels of bio-burden built up on instruments and the probability of faulty instrumentation by providing regularly scheduled maintenance and tray refurbishment. We possess state-of-the art equipment that can detect breaks in instrument insulation that isn’t visible to the human eye, thus reducing the probability of peripheral tissue burns.
Additionally, with our education offerings for in-services/CEU credits, we can educate CS employees on the importance of infection control and proper cleaning/maintenance techniques. See the Education section to learn more, and contact us for more information about our education programs.
How can I ensure surgeon and nurse satisfaction?
Through our preventative maintenance programs, instruments are assured to be in good working condition every time they reach the operating room thus eliminating OR downtime. Properly maintained instruments help provide a more efficient working OR and prolong the surgical instrument life cycle.
Furthermore, properly maintained instrumentation means the instruments used in surgery will be guaranteed to perform at optimal level. Staff and surgeons will be assured that the best possible and safest instrumentation and equipment is being used on their patients.
How can I reduce my repair budget expenses?
We know hospitals have a hard time controlling their repair budget. By using our software system to capture your repair/maintenance information, we are able to show you where and how your repair dollars are being spent. We also have the ability to offer hospitals a flat rate repair program, therefore offering you better control of your repair budget. Since many hospital budgets are being reduced, proper maintenance and repair of your surgical assets is essential. To learn more about our flat rate pricing, please contact us.
