COVID-19: OUR RESPONSE

HOW WE ARE CONTINUING TO SERVE OUR CLIENTS

At TRIMEDX, the health and well-being of our associates, their families, and our clients & their patients are our top priority. As the provider of clinical engineering essential functions, we remain steadfast in delivering on our commitment to our health care providers by ensuring that medical equipment is properly maintained, cleaned and ready for use at a moment’s notice. Our goal is to minimize disruptions related to medical equipment readiness so that clinicians can maximize their time at the patient bedside.

What is TRIMEDX doing to continue supporting our clients?

  • TRIMEDX has set up a multi-disciplinary COVID-19 Command Center that is actively monitoring TRIMEDX operations and working with our clients to ensure continued safety and support, in accordance with health authority recommendations. Part of the protocols include communication huddles per shift and twice-weekly field leadership meetings across all 3,700 sites to discuss challenges and share best practices.
  • In addition, we have implemented additional protocols for our onsite technical staff to support our healthcare providers and their patients’ safety, including split shifts to accommodate associates’ personal and family needs, to reduce risk of exposure, and to extend operational hours of support. All non-essential travel has been temporarily suspended.
  • We are partnering with our clients to support their respective emergency operations plan and to coordinate all efforts with hospital Infectious Disease Control contacts.
  • We are conducting additional cross-training of our technicians to ensure we have added bandwidth and depth to provide coverage to the devices essential for the treatment of COVID-19 patients.
