STANLEY Healthcare partners with GPO for safety solutions

Prime Source GPO, the country’s only group purchasing organization dedicated solely to long-term care supply, is adding emergency call and wander management solutions from STANLEY Healthcare to its product portfolio. The GPO, which has more than 1,000 long-term care facility clients, is adding the RoamAlert wander management and Arial Emergency Call from STANLEY Healthcare, which has a network of 12,000 senior living communities of its own.

The multi-year agreement will allow Prime Source GPO customers to purchase the systems at a lower cost and with simplified ordering based on the GPO’s national supply chain purchasing power.

RoamAlert is a proximity alarm and locator system based on wristband technology. Arial combines a wireless nurse call and a pendant-based emergency call system with consolidated event management.
