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.

Happier Nurses. Improved Compliance

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.

In bill-only workflows, items are often used without being known in advance — they’re not in the system, pricing is missing, and billing is delayed or incomplete. With Snap&Go’s camera-based charge capture, every item is documented at the point of care, and with the connection to the virtual SKU database, hospitals can assure all items are tracked.

I do believe there is a problem in the OR with correct documentation of products used. I believe AI can help with this problem and Snap and Go can make a difference. For example, instead of having to verify a product, having AI figure it out would save time for the hospital staff. I believe AI for operational decisions is something that will give your hospital an edge. Technology that saves time and makes OR staff jobs easier and more efficient like Snap and Go, should be in every OR.

You’ve got your OR financial revenue being done immediately, and what better way – instead of having a nurse typing that in one product at a time – they can place the item under the camera and see it zoom through the system. I see the benefit in reduced time spent manually inputting data into the EMR. Also, the quality of information – with every detail recorded. It leads to all utilization charges being in the computer and ready for submission, speeding up the billing process, as well as making sure reimbursement is maximized, so there will be an increase in financial revenue.
