Few things can do more to contribute to efficient operations in the clinical areas of a hospital than proper inventory management. Knowing what supplies are available, documenting where supplies are stored, and making sure that supplies labeled properly for quick and easy identification and retrieval can make an appreciable difference in the efficiency and effectiveness of a hospital’s staff.

Our experience suggests that very few health care organizations achieve this state of inventory readiness without outside help. Isn’t it good to know that MHS is available to offer comprehensive inventory management consulting services?

Our team has extensive experience in providing solutions to customers in industries that extend beyond health care. As a result, MHS is able to identify, create, and implement best practices, reengineer processes, and improve efficiencies by designing solutions tailored to the unique needs and expectations of each of our customers.

Among the consulting services many of our clients rely on us for are:

• INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
  Once we have completed an inventory for a client, MHS can competently strategize with the client about what they can do to address the problems identified during the inventory.
  
  
• STORAGE OPTIMIZATION
  From clean supply rooms on nursing units, to sterile storage areas within the O.R., to central warehouses to off-site distribution centers, our team will design and install storage solutions. This includes labeling strategies that will maximize efficiencies and throughput, thereby increasing the productivity and satisfaction of employees.
  
  
• INVENTORY CONSOLIDATION AND REDUCTION
  MHS provides a full analysis of both official and unofficial inventories and develops consolidation and reduction strategies to right size a hospital’s investment without sacrificing health care quality.
