MHS technology helps hospitals match supply chain to patient care

 MHS Gains Traction with Wall-to-Wall Supply Chain Solutions Comprehensive MHS technology helps hospitals match supply chain to patient care

(Fairfield, CT) Management Health Solutions (“MHS”), a leading, independent provider of supply chain optimization solutions for hospitals and healthcare systems nationwide, announced the launch of the industry’s only Wall-to-Wall technology expressly designed for hospital supply chain management. The MHS service offering, the most comprehensive available, leverages technologies – such as advanced bar coding, RFID, handheld scanners and sophisticated software – that give hospitals complete supply chain visibility and the ability to capture and bill the true cost of equipment and supplies employed at clinical Points-of-Use.

The comprehensive offering signals a further move by MHS to put into action its leading edge technologies and push further ahead into a market that has long recognized the importance of supply chain efficiency, yet has been unable to find suitable operational solutions. For example, many hospitals still log in products and supplies at each point in their supply chain using manual methods. These time consuming efforts are not integrated with a hospital’s central inventory system and do not provide real time visibility of inventory levels throughout the facility. Now, MHS has supplied hospitals with the means to eliminate this outdated process and raise supply chain management to the highest standard of contemporary patient care. Services such as MHS’ recent release of the RFID-enabled two-bin technology will eliminate the need for the counting process and data entry, optimizing inventory based on actual usage and minimizing clinician involvement in the supply process.

William Zierolf, President and Chief Executive Officer of MHS, says the company’s comprehensive offerings give it a leadership position in the industry. “We believe our Wall-to-Wall supply chain management technology furnishes hospitals with a critical boost in cost-savings and efficiency while putting MHS in a leadership position with a unique market opportunity,” said Zierolf.

Many of the nation’s top healthcare organizations utilize MHS services and solutions, among them Kaiser Permanente, Catholic Healthcare West, Orlando Regional Medical Center, North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System, BJC Healthcare and Albany Medical Center, have contracted for MHS products.
