Go-Live Inventory - Case Study

Go-Live Inventory Case Study A leading Midwest university health system was implementing a surgery software solution to streamline their operating room scheduling and case supply. They needed a solution for setting their starting point inventory in a clean data format while continuing to "operate".
THE CHALLENGE
Identify product in the operating room supply chain to include in the case supply software module. Standardize the description and product identifiers to emulate the surgeon/case menu requirements. Integrate this data into the selected software package and "go-live" with an accurate starting point inventory.
THE APPROACH
HISI performed a lead-in PI to indentify all product in the surgery case supply area. These data were reviewed by HISI and the surgery materials management team and compared to the surgeon/case supply menu requirements. Obsolete or special need reserve supply was identified and either removed or segregated.

The "go-live" data was washed and formatted to the UOM product specs for system upload. Supply locations were labeled and input by the HISI and surgery materials staff. A weekend cutoff was established so as not to conflict with re-supply schedules. HISI staff performed the starting point UOM specific inventory count.

The results were verified, the quantity data input into the software package and "go-live" process completed in an overnight exercise.
THE RESULT
A new case cart picking system with verifiable inventory levels and streamlined supply processing.
