Futura Mobility Launches FuturaCare+
In response to the growing challenges faced by healthcare organizations, Futura Mobility has proudly introduced FuturaCare+, a strategic program designed specifically to help hospitals manage costs, decrease unplanned interruptions, and ultimately enhance patient care. This initiative comes as hospitals worldwide are increasingly pressured due to rising costs and the need to satisfy value-based care goals.
Purpose and Benefits of FuturaCare+
FuturaCare+ provides a comprehensive solution, offering a flat-rate coverage plan over two years for out-of-warranty mobile carts. This coverage includes key components such as batteries and inverters, which are often excluded from traditional agreements. With features like unlimited advanced replacements, FuturaCare+ empowers healthcare facilities to reduce unexpected expenses and enhances their operational stability.
Enhanced Operational Efficiency
As noted by Moira Rubino, Vice President of Services & Delivery at Futura, this new program addresses significant capital constraints faced by hospitals. By opting for FuturaCare+, health systems can extend the lifecycle of critical assets, leading to measurable improvements in care delivery while avoiding the hassle of expensive new purchases. This initiative facilitates the continuity of care and protects vital bedside technologies, crucial for efficient operations.
Mitigating Disruptions in Patient Care
One of the critical challenges healthcare personnel encounter is the failure of essential tools like Workstations on Wheels (WoW). Such failures can cause serious delays in patient care and documentation, directly affecting efficiency. Every moment counts in a healthcare setting, and one malfunctioning WoW can disrupt the workflow for numerous staff members and patients alike, potentially extending each patient's care time by up to 30 minutes. The FuturaCare+ plan is designed to minimize these risks by providing a systematic approach to managing these breakdowns.

Reimagining Hospital Support
Rubino emphasizes, "We are supporting health systems in rethinking their approach to technology support as a vital function. This is more than just warranty coverage; it is an operational safety net that enhances the patient experience. Through FuturaCare+, organizations can significantly improve their efficiency while protecting the quality of care they deliver. This innovative strategy is a crucial step towards achieving sustainable growth and exceptional service in healthcare facilities across the country. FuturaCare+ is now available to healthcare organizations, promising a new era of operational excellence.
