Medical Supplies
How to Manage them
SageData is based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Medical Supplies present some special requirements that can make it
difficult to know how to manage them. Controlled drugs have to be specially managed. Many
materials have lot numbers and expiry dates. And often the immediate availability of
supplies can be crucial to the successful outcome of a situation, sometimes literally a
matter of life and death. BassetPro helps ensure that the right supplies are at the right
place when needed.
The first line responders are deserving all the praise they receive. Paramedics are among
the first to face the challenges frequently presented to them by countless
emergencies.
When need arises, a properly equipped paramedic would have a better chance to help a patient in distress. Also, as part of dispensing their duties, paramedics carry, and, sometimes administer potent drugs.
These drugs require an extra care in recording usage during, storing and accounting for an unused drug at the end of every shift. Having a reliable tool to do this would enable first responders to be more efficient and confident performing their very important work while ensuring compliance with a standard reporting protocol.
Preparing data for those reports is difficult, and prone to error. Plus
hardcopy reports must be physically collected and amalgamated.
Our system provides for fast data collection, ensures compliance, reduces errors, and
runs an online repository for data and for reporting. Supervisors can manage the
reporting centrally, and deal with any non compliance promptly. Also, by monitoring the
location and status of every vial, our system can reduce wastage by ensuring that all
vials are moved to a location where they can be used before the expiry date is reached.
SageData Solutions is happy to offer a reliable solution that is based on our leading
software system BassetPro, as well as, rugged mobile data collectors and barcode
technology.
We implemented a number of the first responder medical supply inventory
management solutions making picking up necessary drugs at the beginning and accounting
for at the end of every shift.
Our system provides
reporting tools that supervisors could use to monitor compliance with the prescribed
processes.
As well as, to monitor the drug inventory on a daily, weekly, monthly, etc. basis.
The data is getting backed up every day thus providing an additional level of reliability.
