Solultions for Nursing Units
Reduce nurse involvement in medical supply management
Your nurses’ time is valuable, why waste it on medical supply management?
Nurses face daily supply chain challenges, from locating items in cluttered store rooms, to experiencing unexpected stockouts. Added to this is the role they play in receiving, monitoring, and reordering supplies. Using busy nurses to monitor and manage medical supplies leads to operational inefficiencies and takes nurses away from patient care.
By providing effective solutions to the supply chain challenges faced by nurses every day, we can ensure they are freed up to focus on what they do best—providing exceptional patient care.
Three Major Supply Change Challenges in Nursing Units
Challenge 1
Trying to maintain optimum inventory levels in nursing units
Managing fast-moving medical supplies is a labor-intensive task, and it’s hard for time-strapped nurses to juggle supply chain management with patient care, while also battling staff shortages. Despite all the effort involved, restocks are inefficient, leading to surpluses and stockouts on the department.
Challenge 2
Lack of visibility impedes procurement and planning
With so many supplies’ spaces requiring inventory checks, manual counting ends up being rushed and imprecise. Over-cautious procurement is a common side effect of bad data, and this results in a bloated inventory. Lack of clear inventory vision inhibits decision-making and planning.
Challenge 3
Reducing the supply chain admin burden on nurses
Managing medical supplies saps up nurse time and takes them away from patients. Reducing the supply chain burden on nurses improves job satisfaction rates and can even impact on retention. Nurses should be focusing on patients, not products and technology can play a role in lightening their workload.
