The New Hill-Rom Clear Lungs™ Programme |
|
Every caregiver’s goal is to deliver the highest quality patient care. At Hill-Rom we passionately share these goals and have aligned our people, processes and technology in a single-minded effort to help caregivers keep their patients safe from harm.
One such goal is the prevention and treatment of ventilator-associated pneumonia. Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the leading cause of death among hospital-acquired infections and has an associated mortality rate of 46%. Preventing pulmonary complications and treating existing conditions, like pneumonia, are top of mind for caregivers and Hill-Rom. We understand that reducing respiratory infections in the ICU is difficult – it takes more than just your bed to make significant reductions in pulmonary complications. It takes the right mix of passionate people, optimised processes with the right therapies and innovative technologies all combined to help reduce pulmonary complications.
The new Hill-Rom Patient Safety Programmes support you and your team to enable measurable and sustainable results by:
- Enabling continuous improvement towards your patient safety objectives
- Allowing caregivers to focus on the patient
- Creating an easy to use and integral system to improve protocol compliance
- Better connecting the patient to the caregiver
Specifically the Clear Lungs Programme is designed to assist you and your team to:
- •Help to reduce the incidence of respiratory complications of immobility
- Help to prevent worsening of existing respiratory complications of immobility
- Help to reduce the financial impact of respiratory complications of immobility
- Help to prevent risk mamangement issues
However to be successful it takes more than simply knowing the latest clinical research or initiatives it takes a comprehensive approach:
It takes people: Caregivers must have the right knowledge and training to provide the best care
It takes process: It requires evidence based practices, therapies and protocols
It takes technology: The right tools that will actually be used to enable safe and efficient care
This combination of motivated, well trained people, effective processes and the latest well designed technology can provide a closed loop process for evidence based continuous improvement.
Resulting in greater quality of care and improved outcomes
