MONTGOMERYVILLE, PA — Futura has introduced FuturaCare+, a specialized extended warranty program aimed at addressing healthcare organizations’ growing challenges with out-of-warranty devices, rising costs, and value-based care pressures. The program offers healthcare providers a strategic solution to reduce unplanned capital expenses, maintain operational efficiency, and protect critical bedside technology.
Designed to extend the lifecycle of mobile carts and related devices, FuturaCare+ provides flat-rate, two-year coverage for high-failure components such as batteries, inverters, and Workstations on Wheels (WoWs). The program features unlimited advanced replacements, all-inclusive shipping, and a shared risk model. By mitigating downtime and ensuring predictable pricing, FuturaCare+ aligns with value-based care performance metrics while supporting patient care continuity.
“As hospitals face constrained capital budgets and increasing demand for operational performance, we developed FuturaCare+ as an alternative to new asset purchases—extending asset life while supporting measurable improvements in care,” said Moira Rubino, Vice President of Services & Delivery at Futura.
Rubino emphasized the critical role bedside technology plays in clinical workflows. “A single Workstation on Wheels failure creates delays in patient care, documentation, and staff efficiency. Many don’t realize that one WoW may support the care of five to six patients per shift. When one fails, the disruption cascades, prolonging access to lab results, delaying clinical decisions, and increasing the time required for patient care. This cumulative effect often leads to longer hospital stays and additional stress on staff. FuturaCare+ transforms this challenge into a controlled process that safeguards both patient care and financial planning.”
Key features of the program include full warranty coverage for high-failure components, unlimited advanced replacements shipped prior to returns, expedited repairs, and flat-rate pricing to prevent budget volatility. FuturaCare+ also integrates seamlessly with value-based care initiatives by enhancing uptime, operational efficiency, and documentation quality.
The program is particularly beneficial for healthcare organizations managing aging mobile carts, dealing with unpredictable repair costs, or facing capital spending freezes. By providing consistent support and minimizing disruptions, FuturaCare+ is positioned as a strategic safety net for health systems nationwide.
“We’re helping health systems rethink support as a strategic function,” added Rubino. “This isn’t just warranty coverage—it’s an operational safety net that protects patient experience.”
FuturaCare+ is now available to healthcare providers across the United States, offering a proactive approach to maintaining technology performance while meeting the demands of value-based care.
