HEALTHCARE SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

Unlike inventory in a retail or industrial environment, healthcare inventories contain numerous perishables, such as costly pharmaceuticals. In addition, expensive items such as knee inserts are frequently upgraded, making old stock obsolete. The need for stable inventory costs places a premium on having constantly updated and unambiguous item files. Manufacturer-specific product codes and descriptions further complicate the task faced by hospital purchasing managers in need of a consistent data view.

The Diver Solution™ offers the requisite suite of powerful reporting and analytics capabilities needed to identify and quickly correct supply chain inefficiencies. Diver enables users to track ordering and usage patterns, as well as historical trends, helping reduce unnecessary purchasing variation and drive down costs. Avoid hours of tedious manual editing by using the Diver Solution's powerful Data Integrator to automatically clean and standardize inventory descriptions and part numbers across the many suppliers serving your organization. Data Integrator outputs a global item file, ensuring that all supply chain personnel see and use "one version of the truth," eliminating ambiguous data and preventing errors from resurfacing once the system has been placed into production.
