The 2nd largest city in Arkansas, Fort Smith is served by excellent hospitals including Mercy Hospital Fort Smith and Sparks Regional Medical Center. In every community the healthcare community must work as a team to build a quality system. Hospitals work with doctors, medical practices cooperate with hospitals, laboratories, and pharmacies. Support industries such as medical gases distributors, medical supply distributors, and medical waste disposal firms all work together with doctors and nurses to form a cohesive community that is safe and progressive for patients and healthcare workers.

The stereotypical view of a physician being at the country club all day enjoying his or her wealth is not true at all. In today’s regulated environment running a medical practice is stressful and budgets are stretched to the limit. From an article about doctors from Forbes online: “But few imagined the level of pressure, frustration and exhaustion they would feel most days. And certainly none who began their career a couple of decades ago expected that one day, despite working harder and harder, their income would decline year after year.”

Doctors have asked us to streamline invoicing, so we did. MedPro invoices are based on a one-flat-rate plan that is customized for each client. Our invoices never have surprise fees for “fuel surcharges” or other such bill-boosting expenses. The same rate every month is just one component of the MedPro Advantage, a series of benefits unique to our industry.

Physicians and medical administrators have asked us for improved customer service. MedPro responded with the creation of a Dedicated Customer Advocate position, a person assigned to each customer’s account who assumes responsibility for resolution of any and all questions, issues, or complaints. MedPro Medical Waste Disposal Fort Smith, AR customers never call and wonder who they are looking for or speaking with, they ask for their advocate by name.

Training is a very important issue for the doctors, nurses, and the medical waste industry. Everyone is required to receive training in many areas dealing with safety. MedPro created a solution that is team-focused: an online platform accessible to our customers through a portal on our website.

The MedPro Online Safety Compliance Portal is a secure, cloud-based platform that includes modules for OSHA and HIPPA training, HazCom and ICD 10 compliance and code translation. Safety audits and regulations are also available via the portal making it a very comprehensive and effective tool for our customers to receive training, certification, and help reach everyone’s goal of zero accidents.

Thorough training helps to reduce risk, which is another concern for the healthcare industry. MedPro has always maintained substantial insurance coverage in all our service locations because it provides peace-of-mind for our customers. Medical professionals are focused on patients and should have no worry about medical waste after it’s out the door. MedPro takes care of it professionally and according to regulations. Every time.

Doctors have asked us about a pharmaceutical disposal program, and MedPro has such a plan. Patients should be discouraged from dumping old meds down the drain or throwing them in the regular trash. We will pick up the old medications and destroy them or we may be able to arrange a mail-back program.

MedPro customers have come to expect innovative ideas from us because we constantly create streamlined procedures ways to save money. We offer printed materials to help healthcare workers do their jobs safely and with more efficiency. Posters reminding staff about what goes in the red bag vs. what doesn’t can save on pick-ups, and helpful reminders about needle safety might save an accident from happening.
