Your Role at Baxter

THIS IS WHERE you build trust to achieve results!

The Patient Support System (PSS) business unit is passionate about accelerating patient recovery. Clear insight into patient status can help identify issues sooner to avoid common risks and enable faster treatment and recovery time. We help care teams stay connected with innovative solutions for patient monitoring, safe patient handling and transport, non-invasive respiratory therapy, and smart beds and surfaces.

The PSS business unit understands the demands that healthcare executives, clinicians and operations teams face each day. Patients present with a broad array of conditions, while staff-to-patient ratios and the demands of documentation can leave caregivers feeling overextended. To handle these challenges, caregivers need the right products and programs to deliver safe, effective care that improves the patient's experience and possibly reduces costs. The PSS Product Portfolio meet customers and patients’ needs in acute care hospitals, long term care facilities and in the home and includes Bed Frames and Surfaces, Bariatric Solutions, Clinical Workflow Solutions, Patient Handling Solutions, Healthcare Furniture and Design & Construction Services.
