Materials Management Evaluation

We understand the challenges of balancing clinical demands with lean budgetary constraints.

Our assessment begins with an analysis to determine your current state - which will dictate your starting point for optimizing materials management in surgery.  Areas of review include:

  • ­    Requisitioning process
  • ­    Supply management resources
  • ­    Case picking practices
  • ­    Preference card content / accuracy
  • ­    Completeness / accuracy of surgical item file
  • ­    Supply management systems (Omnicell, Pyxis, etc.)
  • ­    Level of integration / interfacing
  • ­    Vendor / distributor relationships
Determining your future state will require input from hospital administration and key stakeholders – and likely investments in resources and technology.  Potential characteristics may include:
  • ­    Perpetual inventory
  • ­    Reduction in obsolescence
  • ­    Efficient requisitioning
  • ­    Formalized reorder theory
  • ­    Integrated seamless information systems
  • ­    Sound process controls
  • ­    Effective reporting
Your roadmap to eliminate the existing gap will require structure, and the involvement of appropriately skilled resources.  Our balance of operational, clinical, and technical expertise will supply the necessary expertise for an efficient and successful implementation and transition.
