Just returned from Dallas and had a wonderful time. Lamont Robinson and his team at Novation GPO did an outstanding job on the business Health Fair. Meeting the keynote speaker, Drew Pearson, former Dallas Cowboy Football player, was one of the highlights of our trip. We had the opportunities to meet many representatives from Healthcare systems such as The Mayo Clinic, St. Luke’s, UAB, U of Chicago Medical, Indiana medical, Evergreen and many others. Thank you Novation on behalf of the ECT Solutions team. Looking forward to next years event!!!

“As an innovation that may help to lower healthcare costs by helping to reduce the risk of Hospital Acquired Infections.”

In his Keynote Address to the Fourth Annual Supplier Diversity Forum in Mechanicsville, Virginia, Dr. David Satcher, M.D., Ph.D. talked about the need for creative products to meet the challenges of modern medicine. Dr. Satcher, former Surgeon General of the United States, singled out the New ECT Patient Gown. In speaking with the Critical Care Nurse who invented the patented, new gown, he learned that the advanced I.V. Gown is designed to help minimize the risk of Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs).

The ECT Gown, generously sized to fit most patients, reduces the need to stock multiple sizes, lowering inventory requirements. The competitively priced ECT patient gown has unique features that no other gown on the market provides. It promotes early post-surgical ambulation, a practice critical to avoiding expensive, life threatening complications and infections. The overlapping back design of the ECT Gown eliminates the need for the patient to wear two gowns for privacy and modesty issues, and the gown also allow nurses better visibility of medical devices from central lines to drains and feeding tubes, which improves caregiver efficiency and adds to the bottom line.

Addressing the Forum’s 176 healthcare product manufacturers, distributors, top officials from major hospital systems and Group Purchasing Organizations, Dr. Satcher, former Director of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Assistant Secretary for Health, spoke of the need for excellence and creative thinking in reducing the overall cost of healthcare in the United States. He cited the ECT Gown as innovative, and as an example of added value that diverse suppliers can bring to hospitals and other healthcare providers to fortify the healthcare system in the United States.

The ECT Gown has received 100% positive endorsements in a number of hospital trials. Chief Nursing Officers, Clinical Value Analysis Committees, and a number of healthcare innovation forums have also recommended the gown. Different nursing specialties including ICU, Infection Control, Wound Care, Surgical, and others have confirmed the system-wide application of the ECT Gown.
