What equipment or supplies is useful in your car for Home Health?


November 10th, 2021

Iโ€™m my experience supplies are provided per the patients needs. However, you should always have disinfecting wipes to clean your day to day equipment. Basic things to buy would be pulse oximeter, B/P cuff, stethoscope, scissors, and thermometer. A trunk organizer is also very important to have. Even when you have organized things, if they are not secure it will become a messy nightmare. I wish someone would have told me when I started. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Hope that helps.
