Small equipments in hospitals and CLSC

The CISSS de l’Outaouais’ establishments are in need of several small pieces of equipment that are essential to the performance of recurring tasks by care professionals. Several such pieces of equipment are currently shared between departments. A situation far from optimal since it requires regularly moving to other departments or floors, resulting in less time spent caring for patients. In addition, shared use and travel increase unnecessary contact and the risk of contagion.

In order to increase efficiency and productivity, an inventory of the needed small equipment was carried out for each of the CISSSO’s facilities.

Gatineau and Hull Hospitals

A total of 207 pieces of equipment, including:

O2 flowmeters;
oximeters
ECG simulators;
automatic sphygmomanometers;
bladder scanners;
otoscopes,
hand-held Doppler units;
peripheral nervous system (PNS) stimulator;
suction regulators, electronic thermometers;
bariatric patient lifts;
volumetric infusion pumps.

Oncology

Seven pieces of equipment needed:

commode chair for the chemotherapy room;
five pressure device stands;
patient lift with scale

CLSC

48 devices needed, including:

sphygmomanometers;
bladder scanners;
otoscopes
saturometer.
