Enhanced Mobility, Reduced Employee Pressure
Powerchairs offer a significant boost to patient care within hospitals and polyclinics. Beyond the immediate benefit of increased mobility, they contribute to a patient’s well-being and can even accelerate recovery.
- Empower patients to take an active role in their healing process. Simple tasks like visiting the therapy room, grabbing a meal at the cafeteria, or even navigating a polyclinic for various appointments become achievable, fostering a sense of independence and dignity. This can lead to improved mental well-being and a more positive outlook on recovery.
- Reduce the reliance on often overworked hospital staff for transfers and basic movement. Nurses and therapists in both hospitals and polyclinics can dedicate their time to more complex medical care, improving overall efficiency.
Studies have shown that increased mobility can have a positive impact on physical recovery as well. Electric wheelchairs can help prevent complications like blood clots and muscle weakness that can arise from prolonged bed rest. Early and frequent movement can also aid in maintaining lung function and overall circulation.
In polyclinic settings, electric wheelchairs can be especially advantageous
Patients coming for (multiple) appointments throughout the day can navigate the facility with ease, reducing fatigue and ensuring they arrive at each consultation on time. This streamlines the entire healthcare experience, particularly for those with limited mobility or who require frequent visits to various specialists.
Moreover, there is no need for guidance, which not only means an immediate saving, but also a relief for an already overloaded staff
In conclusion, electric wheelchairs are a valuable asset in hospitals and polyclinics. They enhance patient autonomy, improve efficiency, and can even contribute to a faster and more complete recovery.
