The Drape and Gown Utilization Review Program from Cardinal Health
typically saves hospitals from 5% to 20%. Savings vary among institutions
because each employs a different method of draping and gowning.
Our Drape and Gown Utilization Review Program is designed to help
you streamline procedures and yield cost savings without sacrificing
quality. This tool can help your staff and clinicians work together
to arrive at the optimal utilization plan for your organization.
How Does the Drape and Gown Utilization Review Program Work?
The Drape and Gown Utilization Review Program assures that our customers
are using the right product at the right time for maximum efficiency.
The program brings staff and clinicians together to first review
procedures and protocols and then identify what’s appropriate
for them. With this program, you can expect cost savings through
agreements to:
 |
Reduce unnecessary drapes due to
multiple layers. |
| |
Eliminate unused items by changing
pack configurations. |
| |
Eliminate unnecessary features by
changing the product used. |
| |
Determine the appropriate level
of reinforcement needed in surgical gowns based on anticipated
exposure to fluids. |
| |
Move from universal to specialty
draping systems. |
| |
Identify true costs of gowning and
draping associated with each procedure. |
| |
Reduce time and improve efficiency
during surgical procedures. |
