SAFETY AND SAVINGS

After testing two STAXI chairs for a year, we found that not only did the STAXI stay on site and in good repair, but we also received zero safety complaints from patients and staff. Once purchased, there was no additional cost to use the STAXI as opposed to the monthly cost of replacing or repairing our standard wheelchairs, which were either missing or not safe for use. After conducting our own business case analysis, we determined that using STAXI in place of wheelchairs could save the facility over $107,000 annually and dramatically reduce the probability of safety incidents during patient transport. The choice was clear and our clinical staff and patients love them. In fact we've since ordered on additional 25 STAXI for the hospital.

What people are saying about STAXI - The smart wheelchair alternative:

"Sunnybrook and Women's College Health Science Centre has used STAXI since 1994. We have 200 chairs, and some are originals. To maintain the chairs, we invested less than $500 in them since they were purchased. It is a great service for patients and visitors and we recommend health care facilities have the service available for their customers."

Solomon Ayeneababa, Manager, Parking and Transportation Services, Sunnybrook and Women's College Health Sciences Centre Toronto, 200 STAXI

"We love STAXI. Actually, when staff can choose between STAXI or another type of wheelchair, they choose with its comfort and adaptability for all body types/sizes. At one point, we were discussing a wheelchair management program when one of our nurses said: "well I'm not interested unless we can keep our stackable STAXI chairs"

Betty Greer, Director of Volunteer

Services, Rex Healthcare.

"Not only will these chairs help us reduce the monetary loss associated with theft....these chairs are important investment in enhancing the care we provide. We want to make sure our patients and visitors can get around our hospitals with as little difficulty as possible. Many of them don't need wheelchairs but do need some assistance moving around within the hospital."

The STAXI are a great (wheelchair) alternative.

Paul Faguy, VP of HR & Hospital Services,

Hamilton Health Sciences

(Insider, January 2002)

"We love them...we really like that they don't fold up and that patients can't push themselves either. It's like cars; they steal the easy ones first."

Janice Saunders, Registered Nurse,

St. Paul's Hospital

"We like them because people can't take them away from the hospital and put them in their cars... and they're easy maintenance. One the old wheelchairs, people were taking the legs and the footrests off - that was a problem."

Linda Black, Volunteer,

Scotland Memorial Hospital

"STAXI provide mobility-challenged-people and their caregivers with a simple and safe way to move around large facilities. And, it does so without the usual administrative headaches. As the original innovators of STAXI, we've seen it evolve from a prototype to a mature system. It is as practical for people to use and as it is for facilities to offer.

Our facility has 120 STAXI and 11 STAXI locations that provide temporary transportation to people with a range of mobility issues. They are available 24/7 at every entrance... They make the hospital"

friendlier and easier for people to access
