Healthcare

Rekeep has acknowledged know-how in the management of sanitization in hospitals, clinics and public and private ambulatory care facilities. It offers a full service in both “low risk” spaces (for example, common or outdoor areas) and in “medium” and “high risk” spaces such as wards and operating theatres.

We adopt scrupulous operational and control processes for each single activity required: every room involved in the service is listed and identified by a code and then entered in a computerized database.

The healthcare facility, therefore, can keep a check on the work done in re l time in perfect coordination and in compliance with medical protocols. Our meticulous scheduling of routine work, our flexibility and our profound knowledge of products and procedures have enabled us, as they still enable us, to respond to new needs that arise in real time: urgent work and improvements, the extension of our service to new areas and other emergencies and unforeseen events.

Among the services Rekeep offers in support of healthcare, a role of primary importance is played by the internal transfer of patients: such a delicate service requires the utmost care to be devoted to the training of personnel and advanced solutions for organizational coordination. We give our personnel special training and regular refresher courses in addition to using cutting edge IT systems that track all transfers in real time and optimize routes in order to manage workloads efficiently.

Catering in healthcare facilities is not merely providing food but is a complement to treatment and this is why we have developed a catering model for clinics and hospitals based on the maximum collaboration with healthcare personnel and on care for patients’ particular dietary needs.

We can adapt the service precisely to the requirements of our healthcare customer, whether it is only a question of taking round meals to patients or whether we are asked to provide a full internal catering service; we can also supply a catering service for visitors and persons from outside that accompany patients, running all the necessary bars and restaurants in the hospital facility. We do all this uniting the most modern solutions and technologies for the best possible management of the service, such as the cook and chill method, with our dietary specialists’skills.

Outsourcing healthcare logistics enables services to be delivered in the shortest possible time and cuts down waste. As the leader in the sector, we can deal with
a vast array of logistics activities: from pharmaceutical logistics to stocking up with and distributing Personal Protective Equipment, transporting biological material or laboratory samples right up to the integrated management of hospital storerooms. We have specially trained personnel and technologies that facilitate and monitor operations, ensuring that they are carried out perfectly; we work at the side of the hospital or clinic in real time, with the support of an advanced IT system that tracks material being transported in real time, thus reducing stock levels and cutting operating costs substantially.

Plant management and maintenance are important to ensure efficiency and sustainability. These are still more crucial in healthcare because a health trust is a complex structure: precise standards of heating and air-conditioning the premises have to be observed and sterilization, disinfection and diagnostic systems and
cooling systems for special machinery must always be in good working order. Conducted directly by Rekeep’s own highly trained engineers, plant management is one of the most comprehensive services delivered by our Group because it entails and integrates technical, operational and administrative competencies. We provide a full range of services for various types of plants (heating, electrical and air-conditioning) and for the numerous additional tasks involved, including compliance with changes in regulations, maintenance and energy efficiency audits.

Energy is a vital issue from every point of view: it has an impact on the environment and on people’s lives, influences the development of communities and affects the costs of businesses and public authorities.

Properties used by healthcare facilities, by the very nature of the activities that take place in them, are particularly “energy intensive” because they must ensure certain standards of environmental comfort and because it must always be ensured that complex machinery and technologies are in good working order. Rekeep delivers energy retrofit services with a precise mission: to reduce consumption and the consequent costs,  supporting the use of efficient solutions for the limitation of CO2 emissions without impairing the quality of the service that is necessary in hospital facilities. We assist the hospital trust customer in every phase of working out a strategy and operation: energy audit, finding the best solutions, plant retrofit, supplying the fuel and running and maintaining the plants.

We wash and hire out flat linen and personnel uniforms for healthcare facilities.

Health trusts and clinics can manage stocks and flows efficiently by outsourcing the washing and hiring out of medical textile materials. Through Servizi Ospedalieri S.p.A., a wholly owned specialist company, we have succeeded in transforming the traditional process of hiring hospital linen into a comprehensive system that includes the upkeep and replacement of articles, robotic clothing management and the supply of personalized uniforms with an identity microchip.

An all-round service from collection to delivery that relieves the healthcare facility of any worry with the guarantee of the utmost security because Rekeep provides constant traceability, optimizes timing and resources and manages the whole process entirely digitally using a dedicated software and conducting a careful analysis of the most important sources of consumption to continuously improve the logistical model adopted and schedule the flows of materials required by the customer in good time.

An operating theatre holds a number of activities that require absolute precision and control. With Servizi Ospedalieri S.p.A., a specialist company, we offer this delicate part of a hospital a line of all-inclusive services: sterilizing linen and surgical instruments and providing medical equipment and integrated accessories (for example, cannulas, bowls, etc.).
