Additionally, patient Falls to VANTHCS was 5.7 million dollars and an additional 5.08 million dollars in Hospital Acquired Pressure Injuries (HAPI). Per the Institute of Healthcare Improvement, at least 30 percent of inpatient falls result in moderate to severe injuries. Of those, 6 to 44 percent involve head injuries, serious fractures, subdural hematomas and excessive bleeding. In 1% of falls with injury, or 11,000 times per year, the injuries resulted in death. The Centrella Smart Bed with Early Sense technology can mitigate this issue with its verbal safety alerts in different languages.

VANTHCS recognizes the importance of updating its Skin Care Policy in accordance with evidenced based recommendations by the Institute of HealthCare improvement and the Joint Commission.

If the VANTHCS were to purchase and implement an entirely new product, not only would it involve exponentially more costs to integrate - but there is no guarantee it could produce the same results and savings that the Centrella Smart Bed with Early Sense Technology is able to.

4. Description of market research conducted and results or statement why it was not conducted:

Market research was conducted, and it was determined that at least two or more SDVOSBs can provide the equipment needed for this requirement.

5. Contracting Officer's Certification: Purchase is approved in accordance with FAR13.106-1(b). I certify that the foregoing justification is accurate and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief.
