The cost-effective use of BagBath: a new concept in patient hygiene.
The future of nursing promises dynamic change and continual challenges, with exciting healthcare reform in progress and technologies as yet undreamed of on the nursing horizon. The modern nurse must offer high-quality patient care and should be constantly striving for cost-effective methods of providing that care. In this product focus, the prevalent practice of 'bed bathing' is considered along with cost-effectiveness of the practice and infection control potential when compared with the new concept of BagBath (Westholme Ltd). BagBath is a quick-drying one-step bed bath product offered as an alternative to the bowl of water, soap and flannel.
