Our Hospital Inventory Services
Take control of your hospital inventories
Are you looking for a way to better manage all your inventory needs? Are you looking for an accurate valuation? Are you looking to improve your bottom line? Are you ready to truly optimize your supply chain? Want to identify what is really owned versus consigned? Want to reduce expired medical products and expired medical supplies? Struggle with Rx counts? Not happy with your cycle counts? Need help with ERP and EHR implementations? Struggling with your warehouses? Need data cleansing? We can help!
Health care inventory management loses millions each year due to the mismanagement of their inventory. Par levels are too heavy, which becomes wasteful, and warehouses are overstocked, which ties up capital and takes up valuable space. Internal staff are not excited about conducting cycle counts or working OT to help with FYE counts which leads to large variances and discrepancies. Are item masters getting scrubbed appropriately? Are UOM conversions consistent? In most instances, DSC can help you answer YES to these questions. Appropriately managing your inventory is key to optimizing your overall supply chain.
Effective medical inventory management solutions are not a simple task. Especially, when hospitals have resource shortages and expensive staff members generating inaccurate results. The majority of internal hospital staff do not like conducting inventory, so hospitals are already at a disadvantage. It’s more effective and efficient to outsource to experts like DSC that solely specialize in hospital inventories. DSC has been involved in the inventory management arena for over 30 years with 2 decades of experience focusing only within the healthcare sector. We are experts within all hospital environments because it’s what we do 365 days a year.

Perpetual Inventory Services for Clinical Areas and Warehouses
Having problems with stock levels of your inventory for medical supplies not matching your reported BOH (Balance on Hand)? There are so many ways that this can happen in a busy hospital. Regular Cycle Counts can help, but these often do not account for misplaced stock.

Whether it’s a Warehouse, Cath Lab, or Storeroom our trained team can assist with your perpetual inventory needs.
