ACCELERATE PATIENT RECOVERY

Reduce Hospital Length of Stay

When it comes to hospital length of stay, shorter is better.

It’s better for patients, who want to avoid complications like respiratory infections¹ and pressure injuries² that are common during immobility. And it’s better for hospitals, where the the average length of an ICU stay is 3 days, costing up to an average of $4,186 per day.³ For every day spent in an ICU bed, the average patient spends an additional 1.5 days in a non-ICU bed.⁴

Proven mobility tools and protocols can help you get your patients moving earlier and often, so they can recover faster. They’ve helped hospitals like yours see:

Detect Patient Deterioration Earlier

Signs of deterioration can be detected as early as 6 to 8 hours before an event or arrest.⁷ 

With the right intelligence, keeping your patients on the path to recovery isn’t a question of if—but when. Continuous patient monitoring can help you spot indicators before they become emergencies. In fact, it’s been shown to help hospitals achieve:

Reduce Pressure Injuries

When you’re helping patients recover, the last thing you need is a pressure injury working against you.

The cost of treating pressure injuries can range from $2,450 to $12,648 per month.⁹ In fact, treating a hospital-acquired pressure injury can cost $44,000 for stage 2 injuries—and $90,000 for stage 4.¹⁰

Better, faster healing is possible with the right therapeutic surfaces. And the results speak for themselves:

Reduce Postoperative Pulmonary Complications

From pneumonia to lung collapse, pulmonary complications in critical care are serious, common—and costly.

Respiratory therapy, together with clinically proven solutions, can help reduce postoperative pulmonary complications. In fact, they’ve been shown to help hospitals achieve:

Maintain Patient Mobility and Prevent Falls

You can help your patients avoid falls in the ICU, med-surg and beyond while building the strength and stamina they need prior to discharge.

Falls affect patients’ physical and psychological health—causing pain, injury, immobility, loss of independence and reduced quality of life.¹⁵,¹⁶ And falls affect caregivers, too—risking injuries, interrupting workflows and impacting their mental and emotional wellbeing.
