SubscribeMobile Medical International Corporation provides taylored healthcare for a range of situations and applications. Mobile Medical provide prison health care as well as health care for the U.S. army. Mobile Medical International Corporation control a mobile breast care centre and a mobile ophthalmology unit.
Prison Healthcare
Florida's Department of Corrections utilized the first MSU for six years to provide healthcare onsite for the inmate population. A private physician's group serving the Department of Corrections recorded over 1,000 cases performed in the unit where they experienced a 0.5% nosocomial infection rate, zero hospital admissions outside the department of corrections, and zero security issues.
There are very specific issues that correctional facilities must address in providing quality healthcare to inmate populations. Transportation and security and their associated costs are of profound concern when the institution is transporting patients to receive the care at off-site facilities. However, when care is delivered on-site to the patients in our mobile units, security is served more efficiently and the cost of transportation and exorbitant hospital usage fees are significantly reduced.
"...we have performed over 300 surgeries and have not yet maximized the potential...initially starting out with simple, very safe surgeries...averaging a cost avoidance of approximately $702 per surgery. However, as we increase the complexity of surgeries to things such as arthroscopies our average cost avoidance has increased to...approximately $1,600 per surgery." John Burke, Chief of Health Services Administration, Florida Department of Corrections.
In 2005, the North Carolina Central Prison implemented the first onsite operational model for healthcare. The correctional facility is benefiting significant cost savings as well as improved community relations as a result of minimizing the risk to the community of an escape as the result of providing healthcare services to inmates.
Mobile Breast Care Center
In the years since the development and testing of the first Mobile Surgery UnitÔ, MMIC has continued to develop a wide variety of mobile medical units. The company's mobile surgical concept has gained wide acceptance and has created great recognition and enthusiasm throughout the health care industry.
MMIC developed the world's first Mobile Breast Care Center, for the United States Department of Defense in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the National Cancer Institute that is currently being utilized by Native Americans in Tuba City, Arizona. The unit has been in operation since 1997 and has provided 70,000 women with diagnostic services.
The Mobile Breast Care Center combined with the MSU became a significant factor in the nomination and subsequent receipt of a medallion for the Computerworld Smithsonian Award in the field of medicine in 1999 recognizing the advanced technology's important aspect in today's mobile systems.
Mobile Ophthalmology Unit
In response to a humanitarian request, MMIC manufactured a mobile ophthalmology unit in 2003. The Mobile Ophthalmology Unit has brought services to thousands of Armenian's who would not have had access to an ophthalmologist.
"The unit has been in service for nearly [two] years now and has made a difference in the lives of so many Armenians. The unit design provides our physicians and staff with a very functional working environment that incorporates excellent space utilization resulting in increased efficiency and productivity" - Roger Ohanesian, M.D., Chairman Armenian EyeCare Project.
U.S. Army
Due to MMIC's extensive experience with mobile health care solutions, the U.S. Army has awarded MMIC a number of contracts to develop the future medical shelter system (FMSS) for the military. Applying MMIC's ten years of experience in the design and manufacture of the commercial mobile medical units has established the standards for the FMSS.
These standards ensure that MMIC's military line, the 21st Century Military Hospital System™ (21CMHS), will comply with current U.S. healthcare standards and provide a "quantum leap" for the 21st century military medical services. Designed to meet stringent medical criteria, the family of deployable shelters are suitable for non-medical shelter requirements in which a controlled environment is essential.
The 21st Century Military Hospital System™ family of deployable, collectively protected shelters represent a significant improvement over current deployable shelters and is comprised of three main platforms: the Mobile Surgical Unit II™ (configured in a 1:3 expandable ISO), the Universal Support System™ (configured in a non-expandable ISO with two fully integrated 20'x30' NBC airbeam soft-wall shelters) and the Mobile Single Pallet Unit™ (configured on a specially designed one-pallet position LTT trailer).
Each shelter system is a rapidly deployable, collectively protected, self-sustaining system requiring no additional support. The 21CMHS is designed modular in nature with decreases in overall weight, transport and manpower requirements from currently deployable shelter systems.
Using advanced technology in the design of the shelters enables a per system set-up time of less than 15 minutes. The requirement for U.S. Military is to be 100% mobile and MMIC's military products can help to achieve that goal. The totally integrated power, ECU, and LED lighting systems provides a protected environment almost immediately.
In today's environment, it is imperative that front-line physicians and medical teams have the available resources to perform complex procedures with access to "equivalency of care" similar to that of a fixed-based hospital.
"From both a medical technology and rapid deployability standpoint these systems appear to represent a significant improvement over current medical deployable systems. We have updated our doctrine, training, and now need to focus on modern up to date equipment packages. This proposal has tremendous merit!" - Lt. Gen. Paul K. Carlton, Air Force Surgeon General, Ret.
MMIC's modular design of the shelter systems allow for a controlled environment within minutes that are suitable for all non-medical needs including command and control and general living quarters.
MMIC does not sell products but solutions by operating on a consultative and service-driven approach to meet tomorrow's health care challenges today through the implementation of innovative programs that is supported by excellent technical and service support.
