Q: "Our hospital and affiliated communicty medical clinics were advised that the Joint Commission now requires electrical safety proofing of all patient waiting rooms in order to get Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement. This includes installing child resistant electrical outlet covers. Do you sell these in various colors and do you accept purchase orders for larger quantities?"
Answer: Currently the more popular sliding door outlet covers are in ivory and white. We do have
red available only in the 3 prong standard outlet type. Most hospitals and clinics need the standard sliding door covers. One hospital has ordered both
Decora and standard in ivory and white to match the walls more closely. We do accept purchase orders from hospitals for purchases $250 or over. Otherwise, we do accept credit cards and prepayment by check. Depending upon the quantities ordered, shipment time may be up to 15 business days. One of our hospital customers in Utah is ordered per clinic which means smaller quantities shipped per order and less lead time. Another customer recently ordered over 1000 units which should ship within two weeks.
We recommend that you count the outlets, types and colors you need and contact us for a quotation. Also let us know about when you will need them so we can pre-order if needed.
We also recommend that you use
protective padding for sharp edges of walls, appointment desks, end tables etc. to reduce the possibility of patient injuries. We also sell
protective padding for poles, wide 90 degree angled strips and more.
Thanks for your inquiry.
Sincerely, Barbara
