4 Benefits of Repowering Your Existing Mobile Medical Workstation

Repowering your existing mobile medical workstations can be a strategic investment that enhances efficiency and functionality.

In today’s financial climate, healthcare facilities needing to protect their original investments can be saving thousands of dollars while reaping various business benefits through repowering, refurbishing, and retrofitting their existing mobile computer workstations to good-as-new-or better-than-new condition.

Here are four key benefits:

1. Extended Lifespan

Repowering can significantly extend the operational life of your current medical mobile medical carts. By upgrading the power source, you can avoid the costs and logistics associated with purchasing and integrating new carts.

2. Improved Performance

Upgrading the power system, such as switching to longer-lasting batteries or more efficient power management systems, ensures that carts maintain optimal performance throughout shifts. This reduces downtime due to power failures or frequent recharging needs.

3. Cost-Effective

Repowering is generally more cost-effective than buying new carts. It allows you to maximize your existing investment by enhancing the functionality and reliability of your current fleet without the need for a full replacement.

4. Enhanced Mobility and Productivity

A repowered cart with improved battery life or more reliable power can enhance the mobility and productivity of healthcare staff. They can spend more time focused on patient care and less time managing power issues, leading to improved workflow efficiency.

Repowering Your Medical Mobile Cart

“Healthcare facilities that choose to repower, refurbish, and retrofit their existing mobile medical workstation on wheels can save $1,500 per cart,” stated Richard Shaheen, DTG CRO and Co-Founder. “The cost of buying an entirely new cart is $3,500. The cost of the repower/refurbish/retrofit is $2,000. That’s more than 40 percent savings from buying new.” It goes without saying that the cost-savings you will reap from breathing new life into your existing fleet.

Overall, repowering helps maintain the relevance and efficiency of your mobile medical workstation, providing ongoing support to healthcare operations.
