Hospitals Report Delays in the Shipment of Equipment

Miga Solutions has received multiple reports from hospitals experiencing delays in the shipment of beds and related equipment. Hospitals note shipment delays across a range of equipment, including beds, transport stretchers, and specialty mattresses from leading manufacturers.

As many hospitals across the country continue to experience high inpatient volumes, the lack of availability of beds and stretchers may pose operational challenges for some facilities. As a precautionary measure, hospitals affected by this issue are encouraged to consider the following actions:

  1. VERIFY the current order status and delivery date of all products in transit. Insist on written confirmation of all delivery estimates.
  2. RETAIN all out-of-service beds and stretchers as a short-term emergency backup.
  3. CONSIDER purchasing pre-owned equipment, much of which is available for immediate delivery, to supplement your current fleet.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please give us a call (763.225.8400) or send us an email (client@migasolutions.com).

Miga will continue to monitor the situation and provide relevant updates as they become available.

Know the right price.

And get it.

Having the right information saves hospitals time and money on medical equipment lifecycle costs.
