Efficiencies in Supply Management:

Opportunity Statement
Inventory management for the EP lab was a manual process. This resulted in excess supply inventory, multiple brands and types of catheters, outdated supplies, and missed patient charges. In May 2002, inventory reached $1.4 million.
Project Goals: Implement automated just in time inventory process
Achieve total inventory value of $400,000
Standardize physician practice for catheter selection
Streamline process for patient charges
Most Likely CausesManual inventory process
Bulk purchase of suppliesPotential for outdated suppliesPotential for staff errorTime consuming process for vendor purchase orders
Manual charge entry processDelayed LUCI entryPotential for staff error
Variation in physician practice Multiple catheter choices
Solutions Implemented
Inventory of suppliesWorked with Purchasing & Accounting
Reviewed mismatched revenue/expensesCreated unique chargemaster guides for each supply and assigned costs
Limited Vendors Piloted Omnicell to manage inventory in October 2002Implemented new processes for Inventory/Charge Management and Vendor Walk in Supplies using ScannersExpanded Omnicell use in January 2004 to create patient procedure charges immediately following the procedure

Analysis
Reductions
Enhanced understanding of use of supplies
Allows for review of best practice by physicians for catheter selection
Improved budget process
Setting stage to implement process in other areas of hospital
Recommendations & Next Steps
Adjust par levels to achieve $400,000 inventory goal and reduce days of supply on hand
Ongoing analysis of supply use for recommended best practice
