What Kinds of Solutions Are Proposed?
E-MUSIC Solutions tend to be the kinds of things that hospitals overlook due to habit or incorrect information. For example, many hospitals provide operating-room staff with shoe covers. If you ask an average nurse why this is a policy, the answer will be, “For infection control.” However, it’s been proven that shoe covers have no effect on infection control. Hospitals, then, can eliminate 99 percent of these shoe covers, saving precious dollars in the process. In another example, the barium sulfate currently used for upper gastrointestinal (GI) tests can be completely replaced with whole milk (for non-lactose intolerant patients), for about 85 percent savings per case. Not only are hospitals saving money, but patients are happier, as they almost unequivocally hate the taste of barium. E-MUSIC offers more than 500 of these types of Solutions.
