The Bed Shower™ system revolutionizes in-bed bathing for healthcare professionals in acute care settings. By minimizing physical strain, enhancing patient hygiene, and optimizing efficiency, this cutting-edge solution promotes a safer and more effective experience for both patients and staff.
In the fast-paced environment of acute care settings, maintaining patient hygiene can be a time-consuming and physically demanding task. As a healthcare professional, you know the importance of ensuring that each patient receives proper care while balancing time and resources. However, with high patient volumes, the risk of burnout among staff, and the constant need to maintain hygiene standards, it can feel like an overwhelming challenge. Bed Shower™ in-bed shower system is here to change that
Nurses and caregivers in hospitals are tasked with providing the highest standard of care, often for patients with limited mobility or those who are bedridden. Bathing these patients, an essential part of care, can significantly affect staff and compromise patient safety if not done efficiently.
Recent studies show that healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) affect 1 in 31 hospital patients on any given day, many of which are directly linked to poor hygiene practices. Ensuring that patients are bathed regularly can help reduce the risk of these infections, but traditional bed bathing methods can be cumbersome, require multiple caregivers, and are physically taxing.
The Bed Shower™ system has been specifically designed to address these challenges:
One of the biggest challenges in acute care is managing patient hygiene without compromising on safety or comfort. Manual bed baths can increase the risk of patient injury, especially when transferring patients or handling wet surfaces. In fact, falls during patient transfers in hospitals account for significant injury rates, with costs averaging $62,521 per fall
The Bed Shower™ system ensures patient safety by minimizing transfers and keeping the patient comfortably in bed. The system also features safety alarms and adjustable water temperature controls to prevent discomfort or accidents during bathing.
In acute care, budget management is a constant challenge. The cost of staff injuries, particularly from physical strain related to patient care tasks, is a significant burden. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, healthcare workers experience injuries at a rate of 5.5 cases per 100 full-time workers, largely due to overexertion and repetitive physical tasks like patient transfers.
The Healing Shower offers a cost-effective solution to this problem. By reducing the physical demands of bed bathing, the system helps lower work-related injuries, decreasing workers’ compensation claims and turnover rates. Long Term Acute Care Hospitals that have integrated systems like the Healing Shower have seen a marked improvement in both staff morale and patient outcomes.
Maintaining compliance with healthcare regulations and hygiene standards is essential for acute care settings. Bed Shower™ makes it easier to meet these standards by offering a reliable, repeatable process for patient hygiene. Its automated cleansing cycles and customizable settings ensure that each patient receives a high standard of care, every time.
Patient dignity is at the heart of quality care. Bathing is a deeply personal experience, and in acute care settings, it can be difficult to maintain a patient’s dignity during the process. The Bed Shower™ system changes that.
By allowing patients to remain in bed, the system reduces the need for patient transfers and exposure. With customizable settings, gentle water flow, and a soothing air-drying feature, patients experience a comfortable and dignified bathing process that improves their overall satisfaction with care.
The Bed Shower™ system is transforming the way healthcare professionals approach in-bed bathing in acute care settings. By reducing physical strain, improving patient hygiene, and increasing overall efficiency, this innovative system helps ensure that both patients and staff benefit from a safer, more effective process.
