The number of patient safety incidents involving medical devices and equipment has risen by nearly 40 per cent in the last 10 years.
Medical devices
With both the human and financial cost in mind, Verita has launched a new offer to help healthcare providers manage every stage of the life cycle of medical equipment from procurement to disposal.
Complying with best practice in this area is notoriously difficult. Even seemingly straight forward tasks such as keeping track of equipment can prove challenging, so it's not surprising that so many providers struggle to meet national requirements.
Verita's new offer helps identify gaps in procedures and processes, and puts forward a practical programme of activity tailored to address the needs of individual providers. Not only does this deliver real savings, it provides assurance that the management of medical equipment is in line with CQC requirements and those of MHRA. Most importantly it improves patient safety.
