Emeritus Launches Comprehensive Hospital Bed Transportation Training Program to Enhance Safety and Efficiency

Dallas, TX – Emeritus, a leader in hospital bed maintenance solutions, is proud to announce the launch of its innovative Hospital Bed Transportation Training Program. This new initiative is designed to improve the safe and efficient movement of hospital beds throughout healthcare facilities, significantly reducing the risk of damage to both the beds and the hospital infrastructure.

The comprehensive training program is tailored for hospital staff across multiple departments, including transportation, environmental services (EVS), and nursing. The curriculum focuses on the proper techniques for operating hospital bed features such as brakes and steering, and educates staff on best practices for transporting beds safely and efficiently through hospital corridors and rooms.

“Improper handling and transportation of hospital beds can lead to significant safety risks and increased costs due to equipment damage,” said Robert Manross, CEO] at Emeritus. “Our training program is specifically designed to address these challenges by equipping hospital staff with the knowledge and skills they need to move beds safely, ensuring both patient safety and the longevity of hospital equipment.”

Key components of the Emeritus Hospital Bed Transportation Training Program include:

• Operational Training: Detailed instructions on the correct use of bed features like brakes and steering mechanisms to maneuver beds safely and detaching the bed properly from power and nurse call systems.
• Preventative Guidelines: Education on what not to do, such as transporting medical equipment underneath beds or improperly using beds’ elevation features, which can compromise patient safety and damage the equipment.
• Digital and In-Person Training Options: The program offers versatile training solutions, including digital assets that can be integrated into hospitals’ existing training platforms, as well as in-person training sessions conducted by experienced professionals.

This program not only aims to enhance operational efficiency and reduce incidents of bed transport damage but also contributes to a safer environment for both patients and staff. By preventing common mistakes and encouraging adherence to best practices, Emeritus helps healthcare facilities minimize costly repairs and equipment downtime.

“We are excited to offer this program as part of our commitment to supporting healthcare facilities in their mission to provide excellent patient care,” added Robert. “With our training, hospitals can expect to see a marked improvement in the safe handling of hospital beds, which is essential for patient safety and the smooth operation of any healthcare facility.”
