115 new hospital beds are rolling into Kingston General Hospital. The first shipment of 105 arrived back in March and this second shipment is part of a plan to replace about 400 beds at KGH over the next few years.
The new High-Low beds are called the Advanta 2 by the manufacturer Hill-Rom and they have the latest design and technology built into them to promote both safety and comfort. For patients, they have a special mattress that's designed to prevent skin breakdown. For staff, the new beds will be easier to move and adjust.
They also have a built-in scale to weigh patients and can be easily converted into a dining chair or a full chair. Safety features include a bed exit alarm to help prevent patient falls and technology that will allow the beds to be connected into our call bell system.
