Why Hayat's Express Oxygen Discharge Model Stands Out

The Problem with the Traditional Oxygen Model

Discharging patients with oxygen shouldn’t feel like a logistical puzzle. Yet most durable medical equipment (DME) providers still follow a traditional discharge setup process, which often causes delays and confusion. Hospitals throughout Chicago, Cook County, and DuPage County rely on factors they can’t control, such as DME technicians arriving on time or patients having transportation lined up.

This outdated system puts added pressure on hospital staff, especially case managers and respiratory therapists, who simply want the patient to leave with the safest, least complicated oxygen solution.

Unfortunately, the standard model typically involves:
• E-tanks that last only 2–4 hours
• M6 tanks for portable use afterward
• Unreliable coordination between DME delivery and patient discharge

Hayat’s Smarter Alternative: The Express Oxygen Discharge Model

We’re the only provider across Cook and DuPage County that directly simplifies this process for both hospitals and patients through our Express Oxygen Discharge service. This replaces outdated E-tanks with modern portable oxygen concentrators delivered right to the hospital. This system:
• Offers up to 3 Liters of continuous oxygen
• Allows the patient to go home confidently without waiting on setup
• Requires no same-day follow-up at home
• Gives patients the flexibility to stop for medications or run errands after discharge
We also commit to delivering the portable unit to the hospital within 1.5 hours of receiving a completed order.
