In recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the paramount importance of hospital supplies. The sudden surge in demand for personal protective equipment (PPE), ventilators, and other medical supplies tested the resilience of supply chains worldwide. This crisis highlighted vulnerabilities in the global supply system and underscored the need for hospitals to stockpile essential items and diversify their sources to mitigate future risks.

In addition to physical adjustments, modern care beds are often equipped with advanced technologies. Some beds feature built-in monitoring systems that allow healthcare providers to track vital signs and other important data remotely. This real-time monitoring enhances patient safety and enables quicker responses in emergencies. Moreover, some care beds incorporate pressure relief systems that redistribute weight to prevent bedsores, a common issue among immobile patients.

It’s also important to note that while Medicare covers semielectric beds with adjustable heads and feet, it doesn’t cover fully electric beds.
