Baxter's Hillrom Patient Support Systems (PSS) business unit is passionate about accelerating patient recovery! Clear insight into patient status can help identify issues sooner to avoid common risks and enable faster treatment and recovery time. We help care teams stay connected with innovative solutions for patient monitoring (patient status and vitals monitoring products provide real-time patient status and connect to EMR systems), safe patient handling and transport (patient lifts and stretchers focus on both caregiver and patient safety), non-invasive respiratory therapy, and smart beds and surfaces (beds and surfaces have become connected medical devices crafted to help deliver therapy and improve safety).

PSS business unit understands the demands that healthcare executives, clinicians and operations teams face every single day. Patients present with a broad array of conditions, while staff-to-patient ratios and the demands of documentation can leave caregivers feeling overextended.

The PSS Product Portfolio meet customers and patients needs in acute care hospitals, long term care facilities and in the home and include Bed Frames and Surfaces, Bariatric Solutions, Clinical Workflow Solutions, Patient Handling Solutions, Healthcare Furniture and Design & Construction Services.
