As hospitals engage in the planning process, they are looking at strong supplier partnerships to ensure a successful Go-Live. The NeoMed Loyalty Program was designed in response to the GEDSA Position Statement to provide customers the strategic guidance to mitigate their risk during this change. The essence of the program is to help customers navigate through the entire conversion process; not limited to a product specific transition.
From GEDSA’s February statement:
“The conversion to the ENFit connector system impacts the entire enteral feeding system across all health care settings. To avoid disruption of therapy, a careful and methodical transition to new connectors is recommended over the course of 2016 across the United States. Introduction of ENFit may vary depending on your supplier(s) timing. GEDSA encourages manufacturers to introduce, and healthcare facilities to adopt ENFit tip syringes and feeding tubes in the first half of 2016 to meet the California mandate. GEDSA and its supporting organizations strongly suggest you work with your supplier representative and distributor network to understand their specific plans for conversion. In particular, you must confirm that your syringe supplier has adequate supply of syringes before you convert to ENFit feeding tubes.”

Over 7000 hospitals, as well as thousands of homecare, alternate care and pharmacy facilities in the US, Canada and Europe expect reliable ENFit suppliers dedicated to preserving and enhancing patient care through improved outcomes.
