Reorder points are suggested based on past use. Cost per procedure, procedure type, physician and room can be analyzed. Expiration dates, lot numbers, and consignments can be monitored. Hospitals installing computerized inventory can see both obvious tangible and less obvious intangible savings.
TANGIBLE SAVINGS:
1. Just the right amount of supplies kept on hand eliminating excess stock.
2. Less loss from items expiring.
3. Budget preparation becomes automated (for inventory items).
4. Cost and usage patterns can be identified and addressed.
5. Emergency shipments can be greatly reduced.
6. Just in time arrangements can be made with vendors.
7. All items used are charged and accounted for.
INTANGIBLE SAVINGS:
1. Physician confidence is enhanced by having the item they need, when they need it.
2. Less stock out situations.
3. Much easier for staff to control inventory usage and ordering.
4. Far greater control over assets.
5. Direct link with hospital system available (depending upon hospital system).
6. Greatly simplifies budgeting procedures.
How much each hospital can save by implementing automated inventory control is hard to predict. Some felt they eliminated over $200,000 per year in tangible cost by automating inventory tracking. Other (smaller) hospitals said their savings were more on the order of $60,000 yearly. These are first year savings. Usually subsequent yearly savings are very small. This is as it should be. The inventory should rapidly get cost under control and then predict and manage this new state. Inventory cost will then reflect the absolute cost of running the department without excess stock and expenses.
