Oliver Ledgard provides an insight into the findings of a recent study, which shows that integrating automated and digitised inventory tracking systems is a major priority for healthcare organisations.
The consequences of clinicians being unable to locate the right equipment, materials, and supplies at the right time for the right need can result in inefficiency, frustration, and can negatively impact patient care — this is according to the findings of a new report.1
Non-clinical leaders bear the responsibility of ensuring clinicians and staff are equipped to deliver the best possible patient care and technology is helping them to do it. The Zebra Study included insights from non-clinical leaders across the UK and the US about the crucial impact their teams have on patient care. The results show the significance essential medical asset availability has on clinical efficiency and the technologies poised to help reduce errors, predict demand, enable real-time visibility, and ultimately elevate patient care.
In this article, we explore some of the key findings underscoring how the work behind the scenes in healthcare — managing inventory, materials, and strategic supplies intelligently with technology — is critical to delivering safer, better patient outcomes and the technology poised to revolutionise hospital materials management.
