Much attention has been given to automated medication dispensing , and applying similar technology to supply inventory management offers many advantages. With OptiFlex MS, you can efficiently manage medical-surgical supplies on open shelves, closed cabinets, or a combination of the two. This flexibility enables quick and easy access to supplies along with improved inventory management for a better bottom line. The net result is improved efficiency and productivity for both materials management and nursing.
Ease of Use
Using a simple touch screen interface, nursing staff can easily issue items by simply scanning a bar code or pushing a button. In an instant, supply usage is tracked and patient charges are captured for accurate billing. OptiFlex software readily identifies bar codes created from multiple healthcare industry standards and reads non-standard bar codes.
Perpetual Inventory Management
As a perpetual real-time inventory management system, the OptiFlex MS solution facilitates the replenishment process, saving time for materials management staff. It also reduces costs by keeping inventory levels to a minimum and increasing inventory turns. As nurses use supply items, the inventory on hand is updated in the software. The OptiFlex MS system incorporates reorder points, par levels, and critical levels to drive replenishment requests and streamline the supply chain management process.
