The ECT Patient Gown was designed from the nursing point of view, recognizing the need for a better patient gown. Providing care to patients wearing the current hospital gown requires lifting the gown to access devices such as JP drains, central lines or gastrostomy tubes.
With The ECT Patient Gown, the healthcare provider has easy access and visibility to these devices, while maintaining patient comfort, privacy and dignity.
The ECT Patient Gown facilitates patient care while enhancing a culture of safety as mandated by The Joint Commission. The ECT Patient Gown helps meet The Commission’s 2008 safety goals # 7 and #13 which encourages patient involvement in their own care.
With the advent of the CMS legislation (effective October 2008) to not reimburse for hospital acquired infections (HAI), The ECT Patient Gown helps reduce the risk of HAIs. The strategically placed openings in The ECT Patient Gown can help reduce stress on the incision sites, help reduces the risk of dislodgment, helps facilitates early ambulation, all of which lower the risk of HAIs.
The ECT Patient Gown, the difference is in the details!
