Apptricity Identifies Four Benefits of Asset Management for the Health Care Industry
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) April 10, 2014 -- The health care industry must overcome a unique set of hurdles to manage and monitor a wide variety of assets. It is also one of the few industries where an inability to immediately access necessary assets can actually affect someone’s health.
For these reasons, it’s important to employ an asset management system to improve business processes in the health care field. Timothy D. Garcia, founder and CEO of Apptricity, provider of mobile enterprise software solutions, has outlined four ways the health care industry can benefit from an automated asset management software solution:
1. Better maintenance at lower costs. “Asset tracking systems automate the process of ensuring proper maintenance for sensitive medical equipment,” said Garcia. “The ability to provide maintenance with a clearly delineated schedule of services also makes it easier to negotiate discounted pricing.”
2. Reduced asset losses. “Most health care facilities have equipment worth many thousands of dollars, and much of it can be easily accessed, sometimes by people who aren’t authorized,” says Garcia. “Combining asset management software with RFID tags makes it almost impossible to access the equipment under false pretenses. This can make a huge difference not only in the budget, but in patient data security as well.”
3. Better central supply operations. “Asset management software can help coordinate the entire process of bringing inventory into a health care facility’s central supply department,” said Garcia. “This ensures that important items don’t go out of stock while preventing duplicate orders from being placed.”
4. Improved patient outcomes. “Ultimately, patient care requires both medical staff and equipment,” said Garcia. “Asset management software ensures that doctors, nurses and other staff members can find their equipment and supplies when they need them. This increases productivity for busy employees and minimizes the chance of patients experiencing prolonged discomfort or excessive waits for services due to missing equipment.”
Given these benefits, a number of health care organizations are turning to asset management systems to improve their operations. Reduced costs, improved patient care and enhanced productivity make an automated system invaluable.
