Medical Supplies Planning

Accurate planning for medical supply requests across departments and clinics is essential for ensuring cost control to maintain a high standard of patient care. A bottom-up planning approach ensures life-saving supplies are reliably forecasted across departments, so that clinic and hospital staff benefit from peace of mind knowing they have what they need on-hand.

Prophix One, a Financial Performance Platform, facilitates detailed planning or a bottom-up planning, enabling the creation of comprehensive supply allocation plans, using built-in calculations for costs, order frequency, and usage rates. Leverage supply-specific attributes like shelf life and usage patterns to create more accurate cost allocations that align directly with inpatient and outpatient revenue streams.

Detailed planning at the item level ensures that each functional area within the facility—whether inpatient units or outpatient clinics—is stocked with the appropriate supplies based on patient care requests and admission volumes. Given that both inpatient admissions and outpatient procedures impact supply requirements, Prophix One integrates all aspects of healthcare planning to ensure supply inventory aligns with patient needs and revenue goals.
