For hospitals and other healthcare providers, logistics is one of the most critical support functions, ensuring continuity of operations by making pharmaceuticals, facilities, chemicals and medical devices available.
Professionals in operating rooms, intensive care units, laboratories and wards rely on having the right materials at the right time to keep pace with healthcare activities, thereby reducing waiting times and improving resource utilization.
From an economic perspective, supply chain process efficiency is a key factor in balancing costs and rewards in tightly regulated, DRG-based healthcare systems. Careful design and optimization of supply and material handling processes and systems provides hospital managers with additional levers to control the economic outcomes of their operations.
Effective integration of automated material handling systems, pharmaceutical robots, software and AGVs into hospital logistics systems improves operational speed, flexibility, traceability and patient safety.
SOGENET has been working with accredited public and private hospitals since 2005 to bring improvements in materials management, operations planning, admission-discharge and customer service processes. Together with our clients, our consultants have selected software packages and automation systems, drafted specifications for the procurement of logistics services, redesigned internal and external warehouses, supported the start-up of new hospitals, designed and implemented new models for admission of inpatients and outpatients.
