IMS Flex Ready® - Whether in the operating room, GI, or pulmonary setting, the readiness of flexible endoscopes is crucial to procedure case flow, infection control, and safe patient outcomes.
First, IMS InstrumentReady® Process Improvement increases flexible endoscope uptime and functionality.
- An inventory assessment performed by IMS, working with your staff, will help you best understand the flexible endoscopes currently in your working rotation.
- A readiness review, in conjunction with the inventory assessment, assesses the functionality of each flexible endoscope.
- A departmental evaluation looks at each "touch point" that a flexible endoscope encounters in its usage cycle and identifies areas for process changes and care-and-handling improvements.
- Targeted staff education is then provided, based on specific needs identified in the departmental evaluation and repair trends.
- Competency validations are also conducted, and proof of competency is provided for individual training records.
- Ongoing trending and periodic progress reviews ensure that the steps of InstrumentReady Process Improvement are working to maximize the useful lifespan of your flexible-endoscope inventory.
Then, when a flexible endoscope requires restoration, IMS responds with speed and precision.
- Programs such as IMS Flex Ready® - Elite provides simplified tiered pricing, rapid turnaround time, a six-month warranty, and a peace-of-mind guarantee for your protection.
- Quality restoration by highly trained IMS technicians returns endoscopes to their original performance standards.
Personalized consultation and ancillary products increase your efficiency.
- IMS provides consultative services in the areas of policy and procedure development, process flow, scope utilization, and infrastructure renovation.
- Ancillary products from IMS- such as storage-staging-transport solutions, leak testers, and processors- protect and maximize your endoscope investment.
