Inventory Management
Hospital supplies are often seen as a major source of inefficiency and excess cost, and materials managers are under growing pressure to address these issues. Yet time-consuming manual processes for hospital supply management create barriers to success.
When the bulk of staff time is spent checking par levels and tracking usage in various supply locations, significant focus is on executing manual tasks and managing disparate data. This excludes the filling of last-minute orders from nurses who have run out of an item.
As a leader in supply and medication dispensing automation, Omnicell offers hospital supply management systems that can dramatically streamline your inventory management tasks. With our systems, you not only improve staff efficiency and lower medical supply inventory costs but also increase revenue through improved charge capture and reimbursement.
Omnicell SupplyX brings together a range of Omnicell supply solutions to give you a live dashboard of your stock across all your sites. As items are issued the user, location, patient, item, and lot or serial number are all recorded. With Omnicell, ordering is fully automated and restocking and receipting is also tracked and managed by the system.
