Implementing a Sustainable Vendor Management Solution with TriHealth
In collaboration with TriHealth, we presented the success of our vendor management solution at the 2018 OR Manager Conference. TriHealth knew it needed a new approach to vendor management and they partnered with Casechek to implement a sustainable solution. Check out our poster here!
Background:
- OR and SPD leadership recognized staff spent too much time on the coordination of vendor supported procedures
- Staff presumed the vendor was responsible to ensure all inventory was onsite and ready for surgery
- Vendor communication and coordination methods were fragmented
- Stakeholder accountability was limited and data was absent
- Vendor tray throughput was manually documented
- Vendor tray utilization rates were unknown
Goals:
- Implement a sustainable and streamlined case coordination and vendor inventory management solution
- Improve transparency amongst hospital stakeholders
- Increase tray forecasting accuracy
- Decrease Lost Vendor Instrument Spent
- Increase Vendor Delivery Compliance
- Improve Tray Documentation Compliance
