The lost equipment problem
Hospitals lose an average of 10-20% of their mobile equipment at any given time. Not stolen — just misplaced. Wheelchairs in wrong departments. Infusion pumps in storage rooms. Monitors in hallways. Nurses spend 30+ minutes per shift looking for equipment instead of caring for patients.
