FINANCIAL ROI
Protect the Bed. Protect the Budget.
The financial case for a different approach to mattress reprocessing.
Hospital beds and mattresses represent a major capital investment. Soteria® Bed Barriers are designed to reduce reprocessing costs, extend equipment life, and help reduce the financial impact associated with hospital-onset infection.
SAMPLE 200-BED HOSPITAL
Based on the sample assumptions shown in Trinity Guardion’s financial ROI model.
THE COST OF THE STATUS QUO
Mattress Reprocessing Has Costs Beyond Cleaning Supplies
Labor, premature mattress failure, replacement skins, bed-frame deterioration, inspection requirements, and infection-related costs can all contribute to the total cost of maintaining patient beds.
Reprocessing Labor
Manufacturer-recommended cleaning and disinfection processes can require substantial staff time, dwell time, and repeated steps.
Mattress Replacement
Mattress damage can shorten expected service life and accelerate replacement of expensive hospital equipment.
Mattress Skin Failure
Damaged mattress covers can require replacement well before the mattress core reaches its expected useful life.
Bed-Frame Damage
Repeated exposure to moisture and cleaning chemicals can contribute to corrosion and premature bed-frame deterioration.
WHERE THE SAVINGS COME FROM
Reduce Costs Across the Bed’s Lifecycle
The Trinity Guardion financial model evaluates more than the cost of the barrier itself. It considers how changes in reprocessing and equipment lifecycle affect the overall cost of patient-bed ownership.
Reduced reprocessing burden Lower labor requirements associated with mattress and bed-deck reprocessing.
Longer mattress life Reduce premature mattress replacement caused by damage and noncompliant reprocessing.
Reduced mattress-skin replacement Protect the mattress surface throughout its useful lifecycle.
Protection of bed-frame assets Help reduce fluid exposure and conditions that can contribute to corrosion.
SAMPLE FINANCIAL MODEL
What the Numbers Can Look Like
The brochure provides this example for a 200-bed hospital with 8,000 annual discharges and approximately $1.28 million invested in beds and mattresses.
Example figures are drawn from Trinity Guardion’s sample ROI model. Actual results depend on facility-specific assumptions, equipment, utilization, labor rates, infection rates, and reprocessing practices.
HARD COSTS + CLINICAL IMPACT
Some of the Largest Costs Are Not Equipment Costs
Hospital-onset infections can add substantial financial burden. Trinity Guardion’s expanded model also evaluates potential savings associated with reducing hospital-onset C. difficile infections.
