With 100 healthcare facilities belonging to its cooperative, the Atlanta, Ga.-based nonprofit Partners Cooperative (Partners) is one of the oldest, longest-standing groups within Vizient Inc., the nation’s leading healthcare performance improvement company serving more than half of the health care organizations in the U.S.
A new line of scales has hit the market and are ideal for facilities standardizing on metric only measurements. Health o Meter Professional Scales recently launched an additional series of new models to its extensive line of kilogram only scales. Always striving to make things “weigh easier” for healthcare providers, Health o meter Professional Scales developed these KG only products with high-contrast color screens and interactive interfaces. While the scales are new, users will be glad to hear the extensive operating functions found on the manufacturers top selling scales remain standard; including Tare, Recall, Time/Date and more.
“Time is money for healthcare facilities, and when it comes to getting the proper equipment installed, the logistics have to be executed in the most efficient way possible,” says Tim Farinholt, Director, National Accounts for CME. “With our vast experience in outfitting hospitals from remote islands in Alaska to the towers of New York City, CME is a trusted resource for healthcare facilities tackling the most complex logistical challenges.”
Since 2015, CME has participated as one of the first companies to join the Real Jobs training program started during Governor Gina Raimondo’s first term in office. Real Jobs RI seeks to connect young adults with companies that perform in-demand work and help provide the training and education to allow them to become permanent members of that industry.
In the summer of 2017, CME stood at the foundation of what would become the newest 740,000 square foot New York-Presbyterian facility, the David H. Koch Center for Ambulatory Care. The facility would be home to twelve operating suites, six interventional radiology procedure rooms, and eleven endoscopic rooms. With such size and complexity, this project was just the type the CME team has come to enjoy. Of course, as Cindy Juhas recently explained to Healthcare Business Today, this type of project carries several logistical challenges.
Today, 1 out of 25 hospital patients in the U.S. will contract a healthcare-associated infection (HAI). This rate of infection results in an alarming 90,000 deaths annually.
We're pleased to announce we recently increased our national sales team by more than 25 percent and established two territories offering market-leading healthcare equipment and direct-to-site logistics solutions. In response, we have reorganization to provide better customer service to our growing client roster.
