Background: 1.1 The current stretchers in use at the Joplin Clinical Based Outpatient Clinic cannot fit thru the doors of the procedure rooms. Recently, a Veteran had a medical issue in the lobby and there was no way to safely transport the Veteran to the required room.

The Nursing Service at the Veterans Healthcare System of the Ozarks (VHSO) also has a need for one each of the requested powered stretchers. The new Mental Health building will be separate from the main facility which, during a medical emergency, creates a long transport distance to the Emergency Room, Intensive Care Unit or Medical Surgical units. The currently equipped low base non-adjustable Mental Health beds do not allow for lateral transfer from bed to regular stretcher, therefore; a stretcher is required that will accommodate the low height bed frame. The powered stretcher will lift and lower patients up to 700 lbs. which will eliminate the need for manual patient handling and preserve the dignity and safety of our Veteran patients as well as the safety of staff.
