Featured Case Study
Increased Time with Patients. Increased Patient Outcomes.
According to the Labor of Bureau Statistics, the nursing shortage will continue to plague the healthcare arena with more than 1,000,000 additional RNs needed by 2010. The need for nursing efficiency is more critical than ever before, yet industry statistics currently show that nurses spend as much as 30% of their time away from the bedside chasing down medications, supplies, lab results and tests.
TUG® provides nurses with an automated delivery solution that allows them to focus on what matters most – patient care. Medications, meals, tests and lab results are delivered in a timely and accurate manner through scheduled deliveries, or can be delivered on-demand, both to and from the unit, with a simple press of a computer key. And with TUG’s 24/7 availability, low nurse staffing during night and weekend shifts is no longer an issue.
With less time spent running around and more time spent at the patient bedside, Aethon’s automated delivery solutions allow hospitals to see increases in employee and patient satisfaction, patient outcomes, and optimization of nurse FTEs that increase ROI.
