Home for the Holidays: Support early discharge and safe care at home this winterNews
Johan Vreven
Winter always brings extra pressure on the healthcare system, from overcrowded emergency departments to overburdened care teams. In these moments, one priority remains constant: ensuring that patients receive safe, appropriate care in the most appropriate location.
At Hospidex, we work with healthcare professionals at every stage of the care pathway. This winter, our focus is on two priorities that directly impact patient comfort and system capacity: enabling early discharge and strengthening high-quality care at home. Our pressure wound care solutions, Repose and Toto, support clinical teams in making this possible.
Maintain care after discharge with Repose
Preventing hospitalizations is just as important. For people who are immobile, recovering or at risk for pressure injuries, the right equipment can make the difference between staying safely at home or needing acute care.
Home care nurses and residential care centers see the same pattern every winter: decreased mobility, greater fatigue and slower healing all increase the risk of pressure injuries. Accessible, reliable preventive aids can make a big difference. Repose solutions are lightweight, easy to deploy and suitable for patients from low to very high risk.
Repose support for beds and seating
Pressure distribution without complexity. Compatible with existing beds, recliners and chairs in both home care and residential care settings.
Repose protection for heels and lower limbs
An effective way to relieve vulnerable areas and prevent early skin damage.
By integrating Repose into everyday care, teams can comfortably and safely support patients without disrupting routines or changing extensive equipment.
Enabling early discharge with Toto
Hospitals often face delays when patients still require structured repositioning or additional pressure area care support. The Toto Automatic Lateral Turning System can help bridge this gap by providing a reliable turning routine.
This system allows care teams to continue pressure wound prevention plans without interruption, giving patients the confidence and stability needed to go home sooner. This frees up crucial hospital capacity and allows more people to spend the holidays in their familiar surroundings, surrounded by their loved ones.
From hospital discharge to safe care at home
When Repose and Toto are part of an individualized care plan, hospitals can discharge patients faster while ensuring that movement needs continue safely at home or in an assisted living setting. This not only frees up crucial hospital capacity, but also helps patients return to their familiar surroundings more quickly.
Repose products distribute pressure effectively and can be placed on a wide range of surfaces, from beds to upright recliners and everyday seating. This flexibility helps caregivers maintain comfort and protection without disrupting daily routines.
Whether supporting safe discharge or providing comfortable, protective care at home or in an assisted living facility, Repose and Toto help patients get through the winter months under the best possible conditions.
