Healthcare

Dave StilesCEO

ErgoNurse™ The No-Lift Bedside Patient Repositioning Solution

The ErgoNurse™ Solution

The ErgoNurse™ Solution

Nurses have 6X more back and shoulder injuries than construction workers.

Back and shoulder injuries to caregivers cost US Healthcare Providers over $2.5B per year in direct costs.

Medicare has stopped reimbursing hospitals for the treatment of hospital acquired pressure ulcers.

Estimates for the direct cost to hospitals to treat pressure ulcers is over $3B per year.

The ChallengeCost of Injuries and Bed Sores

Hospital Issues

High cost of caregiver injuries The human cost of pain and suffering for employees Loss of reimbursement for treatment of pressure sores Increasing staff injuries due to increased emphasis in

2 hour turning schedules High acquisition and training costs for Nurses and

Patient Techs

ErgoNurse Benefits

The ErgoNurse Lift is a true “No Lift” solution Pulls patients up in bed Turns patients to avoid pressure ulcers Elevates patients off the bed for No-Lift:

Linen changes Placement of slings or transfer mats/sheets

Turns patients fully to their side for No-Lift: Cleaning, wound care and skin assessments Log-roll linen changes Placement of slings or transfer mats/sheets

Harris Methodist

ErgoNurse Competitive Advantages

Uses sheets, not slings Requires only 1 caregiver The only “No Lift” option Mobile without storage issues 550lb weight capacity Low maintenance

Sheets Tested to … 1500 lbs!
