Hillrom, a medical technologies provider for healthcare, has introduced the first full 10-year set costing model programme.
The company provides hospital beds, patient lifts, and non-invasive therapeutic products to health and care providers and has now introduced a 10 year guarantee for the first time for its successful HR 900 bed system.
Hillrom said to HTN “the guarantee is to highlight our well-known reliability and durability along with Hillrom’s own confidence in this popular product. The costing programme has been introduced in order to help hospitals to reduce lifetime costs associated with bed frame platforms and to budget more accurately by eliminating unexpected bills for spare parts or repair.”
“This offer will run across the Hillrom 900 frames from the third year, once the Hillrom standard warranty ends, through to the tenth year of ownership. It includes servicing, all spare parts and replacement batteries at the age intervals recommended by Hillrom. Technical training for hospital teams responsible for maintenance will be provided on a one-off basis to ensure Hillrom’s guidelines and recommendations are upheld.”
James Rhodes, Marketing Manager, Early Mobilisation and Falls Prevention. Hillrom “The Hillrom 900 platform was designed, engineered and tested to deliver superior durability, exceed industry standards and ensure reliability through its lifetime. The straightforward design of the bed combined with the extensive service capabilities from Hillrom plus our pioneering 10-year guarantee, will ensure that healthcare facilities achieve maximum return on investment and top-quality patient care.”
“Increasingly, healthcare organisations are having to face the challenge of balancing a work environment that is not only safe and comfortable for patients and caregivers but that is also economically viable while providing top-quality care. This is not only for the protection and well-being of the organisation, but also to minimise healthcare cost and avoid potential litigation.”
“Featuring intuitive, ergonomic and efficient “nurse-assist” functions allows caregivers to spend less time operating the bed and more time looking after patients, enhancing the safety and efficiency of patient mobilisation. With two attachment points, each on the base frame and on the sleep deck, weight can be distributed evenly across the sleep deck to maintain optimal lateral stability enhancing safety for patient egression and ingression.”
