HAT Collective Announces New Healthcare Division
HAT Collective, a leader in ergonomic design-forward workplace solutions that allow people to work their way, is expanding with the launch of HAT Collective Healthcare. The new division offers a robust product portfolio specifically designed to support the technology needs of healthcare providers and improve the point of care (POC) experience for both the caregiver and the patient. (POC is commonly regarded as the point of interaction where caregiving and information exchange occurs between a patient and a caregiver.)
HAT Collective Healthcare will follow the same successful business approach as HAT Collective, which launched to the commercial office market in 2021. The division will work directly with contract furniture dealers to help them grow their business in the fast-growing healthcare market through quality ergonomic products at affordable prices and with exceptional customer service.
HAT Collective Healthcare enters the market with decades of foundational expertise through its sister companies that have designed and delivered innovative and industry-first OEM products for global healthcare leaders. The new division has invested significant resources to create a business with first-class products, people and operational efficiency. In fact, HAT Collective Healthcare is staffed with an array of executives who come with a deep understanding of the healthcare industry and how POC-focused products can serve caregivers and meet technology and IT requirements.
The lineup of ergonomic and customizable products, proven to perform within demanding 24/7 healthcare environments, includes: wall mounts, mobile carts, workstations and articulating monitor arms. Areas where HAT Collective Healthcare products can be utilized include patient rooms, exam rooms, operating rooms, patient registration areas, diagnostic testing areas, or other places where caregivers interact with patients.
“HAT Collective Healthcare is a perfect extension of HAT Collective,” said Steven Bramson, president of Innovative Ergonomic Solutions (IES), the parent company to HAT Collective and HAT Collective Healthcare. “We’re leveraging our existing knowledge and our various product solutions to create a new revenue opportunity for select dealers who are already established in selling to the healthcare industry. In fact, no other contract office manufacturer offers the unique suite of products and expertise we are able to bring. This gives our dealer partners and HAT Collective Healthcare a true competitive advantage. We are looking forward to this new venture to serve the healthcare community and bring more value to our dealer customers.”
HAT Collective Healthcare products come with multiple price point options and functionality upgrades. The portfolio consists of:
- Wall Mounts – Perfect for a variety of different caregiver tasks, HAT Collective Healthcare’s wall mount products are ideal for space-constrained areas. Every wall mount comes with an intuitive height-adjustable mechanism (with or without power), enabling users to quickly and easily adjust the desk to their own desired height. Offering superior stability, including an integrated locking mechanism to keep desktops securely in place, all HAT Collective Healthcare wall mounts are available in different height, width and finish options. When not in use, the desk surface can easily cleaned, tilted and stowed away for the next use.
- Mobile Carts – HAT Collective Healthcare mobile carts are designed for effortless mobility. Perfect for small space environments, they are durable, compact and easy to maneuver. Available with custom configurations to support various requirements, they also offer exceptionally long-life battery options to ensure all technology needs are met. All carts feature electronic locking and audit trail software to allow for seamless distribution of medication. Articulating keyboard trays and other add-on accessories accommodate multiple computer equipment needs, creating an ergonomic workspace on wheels for healthcare professionals on the go.
- Workstations – Healthcare providers needing to work their way have a diversity of options with HAT Collective Healthcare’s broad array of sit-stand workstations. During shift changes or while making rounds, users can choose to work alone or with a team, sit or stand, remain stationary or take their work on the move. Available with or without height-adjustable power and with multiple surface size options for task or space needs, the workstations provide ergonomic benefits while easily supporting technology needs.
- Articulating Monitor Arms – HAT Collective Healthcare’s line up of innovative articulating monitor arms provide best-in-class flexibility and ergonomics. Whether users need single- or multi-screen viewing for different tasks, the durable articulating monitor arms support easy monitor positioning while offering ergonomic comfort and compact stowage. Simple to mount to a desk, wall or cart, HAT Collective Healthcare’s monitor arms are hygienic, intuitive and designed for fast-paced medical environments.
HAT Collective Healthcare made its debut to the healthcare industry on March 15-16 by exhibiting at the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Global Health Conference & Exhibition.
