Bay Medical turns to secure automation for improved OR supply management
Challenge
Bay Medical needed to more efficiently manage high-value supplies for cardiac and orthopedic surgeries and more easily find specialty inventory.
Solution
The hospital implemented the BD Pyxis™ ProcedureStation system while categorizing supplies as orthopedic, cardiovascular and general surgery supplies, and bandages/dressings.
Result
Bay Medical more accurately manage OR inventory, minimizing stockouts, improving workflow and bridging relationships between teams-optimizing the perioperative supply chain.
Highlight
"We were having some one-unit storage rooms losing $19,000 in charges a month. We quickly realized that to control inventory in the OR, it would take a lot more than just color-coding, moving stock around and cleaning up. That's what drove us to consider the secure supply automation solutions." Brit Watts, Director of Operations Excellence
