FACT #1
It is a common practice today in most healthcare organizations for multiple staff members (nurses) to accompany patients being transported in the hospital. This is especially true in cases where the patient is transported while receiving I.V. therapy. Up to now, this costly practice was necessary due to the equipment being moved with the patient.
I.V. Tag-A-Long transports the equipment for you reducing the need for additional personnel to leave the unit where they are needed most.
FACT #2
Patients are getting heavier and I.V. equipment has never been easy to handle. Patient Safety is compromised when your staff must fumble with unwieldy equipment while transporting patients. The risk of an I.V. pole falling over exposes your patient and staff to unnecessary injury as well as likely damage to expensive equipment.
I.V. Tag-A-Long prevents I.V. poles and equipment from tipping or falling during transport.
FACT #3
The shortage of nursing staff in the U.S. is a real problem. Failure to address known risks to your nursing staff compounds the problem when injury occurs.
I.V. Tag-A-Long reduces known risks to your staff.
