Central Supply Request Automation
Every day nurses request medical supplies for the nursing floor from Central Supply. Every hospital has a request, and sometimes an approval process, to get these necessary supplies. Oftentimes this is a paper form that gets filled out in triplicate and routed via internal mail – slowly crawling its way through the process.
An automated workflow greatly accelerates this process and adds a level of accountability that otherwise could not be achieved.
