Hydrate for Health
Patient care and recovery.
- Users can drink unassisted thereby increasing independence
- Correct hydration reduces the chance of an array of illnesses and reduces the possibility of infections
Professional care and efficiency savings
- Saves labour intensive staff time
- Accurate monitoring of fluid intake
- Closed system stops spillage
- If just 10% of the Nurses in the NHS saved 15 minutes per day the value of that in increased efficiency would be around £36m per year
Cost savings
- A well hydrated person is less likely to develop secondary problems thus reducing the need for additional drugs
- Good hydration speeds recovery and so frees up beds more quickly offering potentially huge cost savings
- A reduction of just half a day in hospital stays due to correct hydration would show a saving of around £250 per bed per week. With 175,000 beds in the NHS that equates to over £40m per week or OVER £2 BILLION PER YEAR!
