Medical Cart Project Hospital Case: Optimizing Medical Service Processes and Enhancing Patient Care Quality

As a vital tool for the internal transportation and storage of equipment within hospitals, medical carts play an indispensable role in various settings, including emergency rooms, operating theaters, and patient wards. Joncn is a professional manufacturer and supplier of advanced intelligent medical equipment. Below is a real case study showcasing how Joncn provided customized medical cart solutions to enhance operational efficiency in hospitals.

Case: Large General Hospital Trolley

The primary challenge faced by the hospital was the conflict between the emergency department's need for rapid response and its existing medical supplies storage system. In critical situations, healthcare professionals require immediate access to essential medications and equipment; however, traditional storage systems often hinder quick item retrieval.

Solution

The design of the carts incorporates ergonomic principles to ensure ease of transport while maintaining structural stability, thereby reducing physical strain on staff members. The rescue cart is equipped with essential emergency response tools such as defibrillators and oxygen supply systems to facilitate prompt treatment for critically ill patients. Additionally, the infusion cart allows for swift establishment of intravenous lines while ensuring timely replenishment of fluids and medications required by patients. The medication cart reserves crucial drugs to guarantee their immediate availability.

Outcome

Emergency response times were significantly reduced, resulting in enhanced work efficiency.

Concurrently, delays in treatment caused by searching for or waiting on equipment were minimized, directly contributing to improved patient care quality.

In designing these medical carts, Joncn prioritized patient safety and comfort as core considerations throughout the process.

Material Selection

Use antibacterial materials: Selecting surface materials that are easy to clean and have antibacterial properties, such as stainless steel or medical-grade plastics, helps prevent cross-infection.

Avoid sharp corners: Use rounded edges and corners to avoid accidental scratches on patients or medical staff.

Ergonomic design:

Adjustable height: The cart should be designed with adjustable height settings, allowing medical staff to easily reach at any height and reduce discomfort caused by bending over.

Easy to push: Use high-quality rollers and handles to ensure easy maneuvering even with heavy loads.

Stability and firmness:

Stable base: The wide base increases overall stability and prevents the cart from tilting.

Locking mechanism: A reliable brake system that secures the cart when necessary, especially on slopes or during surgery.

Convenience and functionality:

Sufficient storage space: Plan compartments, drawers and shelves to ensure that all necessary items are within easy reach.

Equipment compatibility: Consider space to integrate multiple medical devices, such as monitors, pumps, oxygen tanks, etc., without hindering use.

Noise control:

Low-noise rollers: Use silent rolling bearings and rubber tires to reduce noise interference and create a quiet treatment environment.

Emergency preparedness:

Quick access to emergent kits/equipment: Ensure that emergent supplies such as tourniquets and scissors are immediately available in an emergency.

Medical carts have greatly optimized the workflow of hospitals, and played an irreplaceable role in improving the speed and accuracy of medical services, as well as in the comfort and safety of patients. With the development of science and technology, Joncn's future medical carts will integrate more intelligent features to further promote the modernization of the medical industry.
