Suction machines and suction supplies are rarely recognized as falling into this same opportunity, but they do. Plus they are a trigger item for related opportunities like bed wedges (Safety: to prevent aspiration during feeding), gel overlays (to prevent pressure ulcers and to improve Comfort) & Over the Bed Tables (to improve Independence and

convenience during feeding). Between supply replenishment and trigger items, this is a several thousand dollar per patient per year opportunity being overlooked. By maximizing suction supply replenishment orders and by educating caregivers on related ancillary items, providers will accomplish 3 things:

|
Help patients and caregivers prevent infection and improve quality of life
|
|
2.
|
Maximize revenue per order and per patient
|
|
3.
|
Transform DME providers' brands from "Order Filler" to "Consultative Expert" who can educate referral sources on DME items available that can make patients more safe, comfortable and independent in their homes.
