Recovery Force Health (RF Health) announced today that its
Movement And Compressions (MAC) System, the world’s first wearable
therapeutic compression device that also measures and displays
real-time patient mobility data, has received an Innovative
Technology contract from Vizient, Inc., the nation’s largest
provider-driven healthcare performance improvement company. The
contract was awarded based on the recommendation of the MAC System
by hospital experts who serve on one of Vizient’s customer-led
councils, and it signifies to Vizient provider customers unique
qualities that potentially bring improvement to the healthcare
industry.
Innovative Technology contracts are recommended after review and
interaction with products submitted through Vizient’s Innovative
Technology Program. Vizient customer-led councils identify
technologies that have the potential to enhance clinical care,
patient safety, healthcare worker safety or improve business
operations of healthcare organizations.
“We are extremely proud to receive the Innovative Technology
designation on our Movement and Compressions System,” said Jason
Bobay, President at Recovery Force Health. “This recognition by
Vizient and its provider customer-led council further validates the
importance of enhancing patient engagement to drive better
compliance with DVT prevention and early mobility.”
The MAC System is more than just a mechanical compression
device. It gives the needed squeeze to prevent deep vein thrombosis
(DVT) and the true cordless/tubeless design allows patients the
freedom to be mobile and become more engaged in their care by
setting goals for themselves to mobilize. Additionally, MAC
empowers caregivers with critical metrics to support the execution
of in-hospital mobility and adherence to the recommended 18-22
hours of DVT prophylaxis. Based on clinical trials, healthcare
providers can likely expect to see an increase in compliance to
prophylaxis, patients mobilizing more often which correlates to a
decrease in length of stay (LOS), and fewer patient refusals.
“Congratulations to Recovery Force Health for being awarded an
Innovative Technology contract,” said Kelly Flaharty, senior
director of contract services for Vizient. “Our customer-led
council recommended Movement And Compression System for this
contract based on the efficiencies it offers and its potential to
make an incremental difference in health care.”
Vizient represents a diverse customer base that includes
academic medical centers, pediatric facilities, community
hospitals, integrated health delivery networks and non-acute
healthcare providers and has a portfolio that represents more than
$140 billion in annual purchasing volume. Through its Innovative
Technology Program, Vizient works with customer-led councils and
task forces to evaluate products for their potential to bring real
innovation to healthcare. Vizient may award a contract to products
deemed worthy of the Innovative Technology designation outside of
the competitive bid cycle.
