Enterprise Apptricity for Healthcare

In the highly complex healthcare environment, healthcare service providers and medical supply companies are experiencing extraordinary pressure to create highly efficient organizations – both internally and externally – focused in maximize revenues and minimizing costs. Revenues may be maximized by service providers improving utilization of scarce resources, both facilities and personnel, and by supply companies eliminating stock-outs and shrinkage, while costs may be minimized by improving resource management, distribution logistics and capturing time-sensitive purchase discounts.

The most critical cost-cutting step most healthcare providers can make is in automating their resources scheduling and supply chain processes and related transactions to increase utilization of scarce facilities and personnel and control procurement spend. The most critical cost-cutting step most supply companies can make is in automating supply chain transactions to increase visibility and communication between partners as product(s) moves from manufacturer to distribution warehouse to its destination facility, service provider or end user.

Whether you are a healthcare system, chain of outpatient facilities or medical supply company, Enterprise Apptricity for Healthcare has cost-reducing solutions for you that automate the entire service or product and associated transaction flow cycle. From requisitioning and purchasing of services or supplies, scheduling care delivery or supply shipment, and receiving of supplies to tracking of used supplies (instruments and hazardous materials) and to-be-returned unused supplies.
