PRIMARY INTENDED OUTCOME(s)
Our goal was to prevent refrigeration failures and inefciencies
that potentially result in decreased productivity, troubleshooting
costs, product waste, and suboptimal medication efectiveness,
which compromise patient safety.
THE CHALLENGE
Mechanical failures and uneven cooling of medical refrigerators — a major pain point for staf
at Lehigh Valley Physicians Group (LVPG) — increased product waste, revenue losses, labor, and
down-production while delaying patient contact.
“The refrigeration units we were using were malfunctioning on us. We had many issues with
the refrigeration and the way they delivered cold air inside the unit,” said Dave Bowers, Lead
Biomed Technician at LVPG, who services all the equipment in the nurse-supported physicians’
ofces within the network.
With more than 140 practices and 47 specialties serving eastern Pennsylvania’s Bethlehem-
Allentown-Easton metroplex, LVPG, a subsidiary of Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN),
needed to fnd a reliable solution — and fast.
