Stretcher featuring Big Wheel Advanced Mobility

Pdf Summary

The case study focuses on the benefits of using the Prime Series Stretcher featuring Big Wheel Advanced Mobility by Stryker. <br /><br />According to a survey at Penrose Hospital, the implementation of Stryker's Prime Series Big Wheel Electric Stretchers led to a 10% increase in Staff Partnership scores, resulting in improved staff satisfaction. Additionally, the stretcher's electric lift reduced exertion when lifting the stretcher litter, requiring only 50 pounds of force compared to over 2000 pounds when using a manual lift. This contributes to staff safety by reducing the risk of injuries such as Lower Back Disorder (LBD) to 1% when repositioning patients. <br /><br />The Stryker Big Wheel also enhances advanced mobility, as it decreases push force by 50% and steering force by 60% when compared to average fifth wheel stretchers. <br /><br />Patient satisfaction is positively impacted as well. Florida Hospital saw a 10% increase in their HCAHPS scores for "Overall Satisfaction" and "Willingness to Recommend" the hospital after implementing the Prime Series Electric Stretcher with Big Wheel and Zoom Motorized Drive System. <br /><br />Furthermore, the use of Prime Series electric stretcher scales proves to be more accurate and efficient when weighing a patient than relying on guesswork by a nurse. <br /><br />Other benefits include the reduction of falls in the emergency department when using the Stryker Prime Big Wheel Electric Stretchers with Chaperone Bed Exit System and the improvement of efficiency through accurate patient weight measurement. <br /><br />Overall, the Prime Series Stretcher featuring Big Wheel Advanced Mobility offers numerous advantages including increased staff satisfaction and safety, enhanced mobility, improved patient satisfaction, fall reduction, and increased efficiency in weighing patients.
