Supply Chain Improvement Goals
Dan Stannard, administrator, Red Hills Surgical Center, set specific goals to improve their supply chain processes holistically. "Before implementing Envi, we were operating in two separate systems, and realized interoperability between our procurement and inventory management processes, and our existing surgical software solution, was vitally important. We recognized the need for a solution that provided the integration, while also supporting our goals around case costing, inventory management and price management."
Stannard and the Red Hills team focused their efforts on the development of a completely automated, end-to-end supply management system. "We wanted more control of supply chain processes, and when we implemented Envi, it was to gain greater management of supplies, ordering, pricing, invoice matching and inventory," said Stannard. "We looked at our entire supply chain, then set about improving automation and management of processes, and reducing manual workarounds."
Best Practice Improvements
By integrating Envi with their existing surgical software and maintaining laser focus on their goal of automation, Red Hills Surgical Center has achieved a growing list of new efficiencies. Specific best practices include:
