"SupplyPoint has removed many of the problems
we had controlling our ward based stores. Stock management is now
more accurate and less time consuming."
Countess of Chester NHS Foundation Trust
Ward Based Medical Consumable Management
With an expanding and aging populations throughout
the world, providers of medical services are facing an ever increasing
demand on time and resources. Doctors, nurses pharmacists and surgeons
are now being required to reduce administrative errors, waiting
times and wastage, with simultaneous improvements in primary care
quality.
Primarily used for inventory control of consumable medical equipment,
SupplyPoint is in daily use at a number of leading hospitals across
the world. By fully utilising the innovative and adaptable platform,
SupplyPoint is revolutionising the concept of ward based pharmaceutical
inventory management.
With its extensive search functionality nurses benefit by faster,
more accurate access to drugs; time-consuming searches for keys
or misplaced drugs is eliminated, increasing time available for
primary patient care. Through the use of expiration date and batch
number controls, unnecessary drug wastage can also be reduced.
Thanks to accurate, up-to-the-minute inventory records, administration
of ward based stores is also improved; by simply producing a stock
issue report, pharmacists can restock the SupplyPoint from the
main stores in one operation. Time consuming and error prone manual
procedures (stock check - calculate requirements - pick - replenish)
are eliminated, whilst simultaneously increasing availability
and reducing on-hand stocks.
