Taking control of beds and mattresses

Medstromis supporting Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust with the management of beds and mattresses, which has led to significant improvements in patient safety and experience.

Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust (LPT) serves a population of one million people, employs over 5,500 staff in a wide variety of roles across 154 sites, and manages an estimated 7,000 separate medical devices and assets. It has changed dramatically over recent years and is, like many other NHS providers, now faced with a set of common challenges, including limited budgets and a growing demand for services. 

Identifying risks

In the current socioeconomic climate of high demand and finite resource, brought about in part by a rapidly ageing population, LPT identified a need to overhaul its management of hospital beds and mattresses. With quality at the heart of all decision making, the Trust has a clear mandate to derive the best possible value and service from suppliers as part of LPT’s Capital Programme. It therefore set about reviewing its assets and management methods.
