“We originally purchased eight TransAlls (earlier model) to be utilized primarily for patient discharges, and we have purchased an additional eight carts. Since implementing the patient carts, we have developed other uses for the carts: i.e., Intra-Hospital Patient Transfers, Movement of Patient Belongings, and Patient Admissions With Luggage.”
“The benefits we have derived include allowing for movement of patients and belongings at the same time, eliminating the necessity of pushing a wheelchair and maneuvering a separate cart with belongings, thus reducing the risk of muscle pulls and/or strains due to awkward positions, and further, it eliminates the need to dispatch two attendants when a large volume of luggage or belongings is indicated... the patient carts have impacted our staff quite favorably.”
