Case Study 4: ICP develops customizable organizational system for personal protection equipment.
Nursing committee members from this hospital committed to eliminating bulky isolation carts from their corridors in an effort to increase safety for both patients and nurses. They turned to ICP for help in creating a better solution for organizing and distributing personal protection supplies.
ICP’s customized solution addresses a number of issues found with the old carts and cabinets. Our “open system” design allows staff members to immediately access necessary supplies, and to see when inventory is low in order to refill it as necessary. The organizers are completely adaptable, with adjustable brackets that accommodate many brands and product sizes, and a customizable layout which can be adjusted to meet the needs of individual departments or facilities. ICP also developed several new mounting options which increase compliancy by making it possible to hang the organizers at any “point of care,” including walls, glass and doors.
Our client has successfully implemented PPE organizers throughout their hospital system, and has used them for over 3 years. Isolation carts have been eliminated, much to the satisfaction of nursing staff, and an increased compliancy with personal protection equipment has been achieved.
