Why Hospitals Are Turning to Linde Healthcare for Medical Site Gas Management Services
Medical gas logistics is manpower-intensive and so critically important in the provision of patient care that it is often inspected by the authorities having jurisdiction. Since the Joint Commission has moved to unannounced inspections, including the assessment of medical gases by a Life Safety Code Specialist, we understand that demands for your time and staff have never been greater. Now you can free up your personnel, reduce costs and enhance safety without having to do it by yourself.
