What if you could save $5000 / bed?
Improving workflow and utilizing real-time location technology like AgileTrac Asset Manager has delivered proven results, with savings up to $5,000 per bed.
Transcript:
In today's environment of declining budgets, revenues and reimbursements, imagine if you could save $5,000 per bed. You can. One of the ways we've helped many hospital systems accomplish results like this is through asset optimization.
True asset optimization is not about fixing broken equipment. It's about improving workflow, utilizing the latest technology, enhancing capital planning, transforming asset maintenance and much more.
It's about finding the areas where we can help you significantly reduce capital and operational expenditures. And it starts by analyzing the way you currently manage your mobile assets. You'll be surprised at what we find.
At one hospital we worked with, we discovered they had two pumps for every patient. By helping this hospital implement and sustain more efficient workflow processes, they were able to take 250 pumps out of their mobile equipment inventory. Capital expenditures were reduced by $450,000, and operational expenditures went down $30,000 per year.
In another healthcare facility, we discovered it took up to 275 minutes from the time an IV medication order was given until the pump was in place and the IV was in progress. By helping them devise a streamlined process for circulating pumps on the floor, IV pumps are now available in 10 minutes at the most and in as little as 35 seconds in many instances. And because the staff no longer has to hunt for pumps, the hospital realized a productivity gain worth $5.2 million.
This is what can happen when you truly optimize your mobile assets enterprise-wide. GE Healthcare works with you to uncover issues that you probably didn't even know you had. We help you redesign workflows for better efficiency, improved quality control, increased productivity and more. And we give you the tools, like AgileTrac Asset Manager technology, to ensure your asset optimization practices are a success.
The results we've helped hospitals achieve through asset optimization are astonishing. Working with GE Healthcare has proven to help hospitals save $5,000 per bed, reduce capital expenditures by 15 percent to 30 percent, and -- based on a 200-bed facility -- eliminate $2 million of waste.
