Hill-Rom’s mission is to enhance outcomes for patients and their caregivers. As such, the firm has staff in 100 countries, and customers in more than 140, all focused on supporting patients. Focused on combining the latest technology with a patient focused approach, Hill-Rom offers a truly exceptional service to every client it works with. To help people get better care, Hill Rom operates three global businesses that develop and sell hospital beds (frames and surfaces) and clinical workflow UA180041 solutions; patient monitoring and diagnostic equipment under the Welch Allyn and Mortara brands; and surgical solutions, including operating tables, operating room lights and booms, as well as surgical disposables, under the Aspen Surgical, Allen Medical and Trumpf Medical brands. Every aspect of the firm’s work starts with the patient, and the total commitment by the entire Hill-Rom team to solving its customers’ challenges. When they first start working with a new client, the team spend time in the hospital and in the doctor’s office to see how the care teams work, to evaluate their workflow and how they interact with patients and medical technologies. The team learns a lot from those experiences and uses this information to provide a tailored solution that meets the clients’ exact needs. Whilst bespoke solutions are important, within the fast paced medical technologies market ensuring that patient care is at the forefront of every innovation is crucial, and as such this is at the forefront of Hill-Rom’s strategy constantly. For example, the advent and expansion of robotic surgery is making surgical procedures safer and shorter, leading to faster recovery times. One challenge of robotic surgery is moving the patient during the procedure to expose certain areas of the anatomy. With the new Integrated Table Motion, a Hill-Rom operating table syncs in perfect harmony with the DaVinci xi surgical robot from Intuitive Surgical, surgeons are able to make a range of table adjustments without removing the surgical implements from the patient. This offers reduced strain on the surgical team; enhanced safety for the patient; and shorter surgeries are all good outcomes from this new technology. Fundamentally, Hill-Rom is a values-driven company, shaped around its commitment to enhancing outcomes for patients and caregivers. As such, the firm’s customer-focused culture lives by the values of Respect, Responsiveness, Results, Integrity and Fun. The team use these values to drive its decision- making, product development and interactions with their colleagues and customers worldwide. When recruiting new talent, Hill-Rom look for people who embody these values to ensure that their ongoing effectiveness.

One key innovation is the Hill-Rom 900 Accella, an exciting new high-end med-surg and ICU offering for global markets outside the U.S.; Integrated Table Motion. The firm will also be offering the RetinaVue Imager, which is helping diagnose diabetic retinopathy, one of the world’s leading causes of blindness in working-age adults, when it is still treatable. These unique innovations will help drive Hill-Rom to even greater success over the years to come. Company: Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. Address: 130 E.
