Hospital:
Forward Products for Emergency and Trauma Care
"By creating partnerships in the fields of business, research
and development, and technology, the emergency department
can become more efficient, cost-effective and able to provide
advanced treatments with the newest technology."
Comilla Sasson, M.D. President,
Emergency Medicine Residents' Association (EMRA)
Hospital emergency departments are an increasingly significant
component of the U.S. health care system. Last year, approximately
114 million people visited hospital emergency departments, representing
about 38.4 visits per every 100 people in the country. In fact,
visits to emergency departments increased 20% over the past
decade. |
 |
Yet, during these same years, the
number of emergency departments has actually decreased by 15%.
Accordingly, many emergency departments report heavy financial
pressure to meet the increased demand for services. A concerted
effort needs to be made to ensure that those very hospital departments
that support life - do not end up on life support themselves.
The development of innovative and cost-efficient emergency medical
products is a critical part of any proposed solution.
Forward Medical is dedicated to identifying, developing and
commercializing medical devices that improve the ability of
emergency department, trauma and critical care professionals
to provide high quality and cost-efficient medical care. Forward
Medical products will be used to rapidly process and treat trauma
injuries; stabilize critically ill patients; and manage less
urgent conditions such as minor injuries, acute and chronic
illnesses.
Forward Medical will identify and design devices for such areas
as: airway/breathing management, diagnostics & monitoring,
hemorrhage control & vascular access, immobilization, and
resuscitation. Product development will be optimized by incorporating
the input and involving active participation of emergency medical
professionals from:
• Emergency
Departments
• Trauma Centers
• Critical Care Units
• Urgent Care Centers
Forward Medical seeks partnerships with individuals, organizations
and business entities that are looking to rapidly develop and
deploy technologies – moving ideas forward to save patients
lives.
Forward Medical’s advisory board and strategic alliances
provide it with the unique ability to leverage world-class clinical
and corporate relationships to accelerate emergency and trauma
care product development and commercialization.
