Created Feb 25 2014, 6:00 AM by Motorola Solutions

When considering your choice of healthcare device, key factors can include: the device’s security, whether it’s disinfectant-ready, its battery life, available accessories, scanning capability, durability, lifecycle and more. Read this white paper to get a point-by-point analysis.

Once you have selected the best real-time inventory management solution for your hospital, clinic or other healthcare environment, the next steps are to:

  1. Dedicate time to train your staff.
  2. Set goals on how you anticipate the inventory management solution will increase productivity.
  3. Establish policies on how to handle the equipment, where to report lost or missing inventory, and how to best use the new real-time information.
  4. Most importantly, make sure your staff understands why real-time inventory management is a must in your environment, and help them see how their role is crucial to the process.
  5. Overall, creating a continual learning environment of no blame is essential to ensure that everyone is focused on the solution and the goals and not the minutia of who, what, where and when.

Make sure your new inventory management solution fits into your existing mobility strategy. If you don’t have a mobility strategy, now is a good time to develop one. Consider things such as wireless network connectivity, a bring your own device (BYOD) policy, and how your new inventory management solution will fit in with these and your existing business-critical wireless data demands.

Healthcare requires real-time data in an easy-to-access format. By assessing your particular environment, identifying your technology needs and planning for implementation, your supply chain management team can select the best real-time inventory management for your environment’s needs.

Check out this white paper to learn more about how to select the right mobile device for your healthcare environment.
