Supply chain disruptions and product failings can present real threats to the health of your organization. When your supply chain is unreliable or you experience poor product performance, there are measurable costs – both human and financial.
According to the CDC, over 700,000 patients are harmed or killed by healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) each year. And readmission penalties are costing hospitals $500 million a year.
Research by the CDC shows that hospitals can reduce HAI's by 70% if their care teams are aware of infection problems and the specific steps needed to fix them.
There’s much more to preventing infections than selecting the right products. It requires an awareness of risk areas and commitment to learning new ways to reduce those risks.
It's common for hospitals to struggle with changing the way they look at financial planning. According to Thompson Reuters, over 50% of US Hospitals are losing money. And cost-cutting is not getting the job done.
Now more than ever, healthcare facilities are faced with mounting pressures to simplify, standardize, and increase efficiencies in order to improve their overall financial health. HALYARD* can help you find ways to cut down on wasted time and wasted money.
