MediVault: Simplifying surgical inventory & workflow for healthcare
Project Overview
MediVault is an advanced inventory management system for healthcare facilities, streamlining surgical inventory management. It helps medical staff, especially nurses, with workflow tools and real-time inventory data to ensure accurate supply allocation. Its multitenant architecture supports multiple facilities with unique inventory needs on a unified platform.
Problem Statement
Managing surgical inventory efficiently in healthcare settings is complex and requires precise tracking, timely replenishment, and seamless integration with surgical workflows. Existing systems often fail to meet these needs, resulting in supply shortages, delays, and potential risks to patient safety.
Key Findings
- Surgical Inventory Management: Healthcare facilities faced challenges in managing surgical supplies, leading to delays and inefficiencies in preparation.
- Need for Workflow Integration: A system was needed to track inventory and seamlessly integrate with surgical workflows, ensuring smooth preparation.
- Multitenancy Requirement: Healthcare networks required a solution that allowed multiple facilities to manage their inventories independently while sharing a common platform.
Implemented Solution
MediVault was designed to solve these challenges through a comprehensive, multitenant inventory management system tailored for healthcare:
-
Inventory & Warehouse Flow:
The system automates all inventory processes, from receiving and storing supplies to tracking usage and replenishment.
-
Surgical Preparation Assistance:
Integrated with surgical workflows, MediVault provides tools like checklists, supply tracking, and real-time updates for nurses.
-
Multitenancy:
It supports multiple healthcare facilities, allowing each to manage its own inventory while sharing resources and best practices.
-
Real-Time Data & Alerts:
The system delivers real-time inventory data and sends alerts for low stock, ensuring supplies are always available for surgeries.
Results
The implementation of MediVault led to significant improvements in healthcare inventory management and surgical preparation: it reduced the time spent on inventory tasks, enhanced accuracy with real-time updates, and allowed healthcare networks to manage inventories across multiple facilities efficiently. The integration with surgical workflows contributed to better patient safety and outcomes by ensuring timely and well-prepared surgeries with no supply shortages.
