"Standardizing blood pressure cuffs with Welch Allyn has made it more efficient for our nurses and has saved a significant amount of time during rounds. We would not want to switch back."
— Curtis Ange, WellStar Health System
Hospital-acquired infections (HAI) can have a significant patient safety, efficiency and financial impact on your hospital. Standardizing to a single-patient-use blood pressure cuff workflow where each patient gets a new disposable blood pressure cuff is a simple way to help reduce cross-contamination risks and enhance patient safety. Welch Allyn is the only company with two unique technology options to help you implement a single-patient-use cuff workflow.
For more information on reducing cross-contamination, or to request a copy of the American Journal of Infection Control's research paper: "Implementation of Disposable Blood Pressure Cuffs as a Novel Approach to Reduce Fomite Transmission of Healthcare-Associated Clostridium difficile Infection in a Community Hospital", please email jamie.wood@welchallyn.com.
Each hospital-acquired infection costs a hospital nearly $40,000.* Standardizing cuffs to a single-patient-use model can help reduce the risk of cuff-related cross-contamination, streamline inventory management, and improve clinical workflow—advancements that will make a positive impact on your bottom line.
“System-wide standardization with Welch Allyn Cuffs enabled us to reduce SKUs by over 90%. This has conservatively saved the hospital system nearly $140k each year in excess inventory and related acquisition costs.”
Managing consolidation and change—the process of choosing the right blood pressure cuffs, determining the right conversion method, and implementing the change—must be carefully handled.
Our experience, comprehensive product line, and conversion options ensure that we can optimize the clinical and financial benefits at your facility. Our conversion teams handle the process, from consultation to implementation, to make the transition smooth and painless.
