4 Ways Global Industrial Can Supply Health Providers with Support for Patients
Here are four ways we help medical teams support their patients:
1. Storage Solutions
Keep patient charts, insurance information, and other health records conveniently and securely located with our range of storage solutions. To start, make PPE easily accessible for physicians and nurses. Then, organize exam room essentials and temperature-sensitive items with streamlined storage options, like these:
Put it on Wheels
Medical carts make heavy lifting a thing of the past, whether your facility uses them for bedside supplies in the hospital,anesthesia supplies, crash carts, or linen service. When you need to maximize your space, use a compact rolling cart to store supplies such as tongue depressors, bandages, and syringes.
Lock it Up
Stainless steel cabinets keep pharmaceuticals and medical supplies securely behind lock and key. Choose from a range of wall-mounted options for safe storage in a lab, pharmacy, or office.
Organize Records
High-volume practices mean busy medical offices and juggling of patient charts. Sturdy steel medical record storage cabinets and X-ray cabinets accommodate a large volume of alphabetical files and can stack atop one another to maximize space.
Cool it Down
Whether you have an in-house lab, or need a place to store vaccines, medicines, or biological specimens, the proper cold storage can help preserve samples at the right temperature. Choose a small undercounter-mounted option for the lab or a large glass door fridge with 72 cubic feet of space.
2. Office Furnishings
Furnishings such as seating and desks add order and function to exam rooms, workstations, and waiting areas. To make your medical facility appear more welcoming, consider adding plants, artwork, and other cheerful décor.
Take a Seat
Add medical stools, with or without backrests, to exam rooms and nurses’ workstations.Choose from a variety of waiting room chair styles—from traditional to modern—for the comfort of waiting guests.
Make Exams Easy
Vinyl-upholstered exam tables make sanitizing before and after a patient seamless, while pull-out legs, a reclining back, and adjustable stirrups offer comfort for the patient. In-room gooseneck task lamps give a medical professional the right light to help diagnose and treat patients.
Let Patients Recharge
Ensure your hospital or outpatient surgery center has enough hospital beds, with fully electric options designed for adults and children. Overbed tables bring the comforts of home to a hospital setting.
Get Work Done
Wall desks outside a patient’s room allow doctors and nurses to efficiently chart a patient right in the hallway. Front office assistants, administrators, and insurance staff can benefit from pedestal-style desks that provide plenty of room for paperwork.
Make it Private
Divide your facility with privacy screens for patient consults, blood donations, and emergency room cubicles.
3. Protective Gear
Protect the frontline workers and patients at your medical facility by using medical-grade personal protective equipment and gear.
Put on PPE
Disposable procedural and surgical face masks, reusable N95s, and other well-made masks help reduce the transmission of potentially harmful airborne pathogens, particularly in close quarters and poorly ventilated areas.
Note: Please refer to FDA guidelines to determine the right PPE to suit your company’s needs.
Suit Up
Help provide head to toe protection during COVID-19 testing or medical procedures with lightweight isolation gowns. Use latex or nitrile gloves to protect hands while performing medical exams or handling lab specimens. Keep hair nets, beard covers, shoe covers, and arm protectors at the ready for patient interactions and procedures.
Cover Your Eyes
Durable polycarbonate, anti-fog safety glasses meet standards for optical protection, while full face shields offer an extra layer against infectious diseases.
4. Treatment Rooms
As a medical equipment supplier, Global Industrial provides top-of-the-line diagnostic tools, therapy equipment, and other must-have and nice-to-have treatment room accessories.
Dispose Safely
Get rid of used syringes and needles with a secure sharps container. For medical waste, choose from a variety of trash cans with step openings and swing-top lids.
Use Diagnostic Tools
To accurately diagnose a patient, outfit your exam rooms with all the essentials—otoscopes and ophthalmoscopes, pen lights, neurological hammers, thermometers, stethoscopes, and blood pressure cuffs.
Keep Accessories at Hand
Have procedural supplies ready to go by organizing them on instrument stands. Acquiring a sample to test for strep throat requires a tongue depressor and a long cotton-tip applicator. Wound dressings such as gauze and tape can help stanch a deep cut.
Take a Therapeutic Approach
As a medical equipment supplier, Global Industrial also offers products designed for therapeutic purposes. Whether your clients suffer from arthritic knees and chronic pain or sports injuries and backaches, each can benefit from therapy tools and corresponding exercises. Help alleviate discomfort by using hand weights, muscle rubs, exercise bands, and a range of soft-tissue therapy systems.
