Purchase of twenty electric beds:
- More comfortable, safer beds for users.
- More autonomy for patients, which allows more time for nurses and attendants to care for others.
- Integrated scale which means less risk for the patient as the patient no longer needs to be transported to be weighed on a scale.
- Option to lower beds close to the ground, thus avoiding injuries from falls.
Purchase of a bariatric stretcher:
- For obese clients who cannot be transported safely with regular equipment.
- Allows safe transportation to other hospital services (eg. medical imagery, emergency, etc.).
