As hospitals face increasing pressure to streamline operations and manage rising patient volumes, one silent threat continues to impact patient throughput: equipment downtime. Emeritus, a leader in healthcare asset management, is highlighting the role of hospital beds in operational efficiency, positioning maintenance as mission-critical.

Studies show that a single out-of-service bed in a 20-bed unit can delay up to three patient transfers daily, compounding delays in the ER, surgical suites, and discharge planning. When patient flow slows, hospital revenue suffers.

“Hospital beds aren’t just equipment—they’re an integral part of patient care and movement,” said a spokesperson for Emeritus. “Our maintenance programs are designed to eliminate unplanned downtime and remove bottlenecks from the care pathway.”

Emeritus offers preventive bed maintenance, rapid-response servicing, and real-time reporting that empower hospital teams to stay proactive. By ensuring that beds are always ready, hospitals can admit patients faster, keep surgeries on schedule, and improve bed turnover.

The result: more efficient patient care and stronger bottom lines.

Emeritus currently partners with hospitals nationwide, helping facilities prioritize uptime across thousands of high-use beds.
