File Preparation and Upload:
Document Submission:
- Upload Item Master Files and 24-Month PO History at least 30 days before the inventory start date.
- Ensure all lists are uploaded either before or on the inventory start date. (These are items we won't physically count but you want to supply a list for. Ex: Sterile trays, Omnicell, etc)
Logistics and Setup:
- Reserve a conference room or office with power for the team to set up and store their belongings.
- We will provide a Scrub list; so you can have it ready for the team upon their arrival.
Internal Hospital Communication & Access Guidelines
Designate a Single Point of Contact: Each hospital should assign one primary contact—typically the Materials Manager—to coordinate internally with all deparments and serve as our liaison.
Department Coordination: Please ensure all department heads are informed of our visit. Coordinate internally to determine the preferred order and timing for each department’s inventory count, and confirm they are prepared.
Special Instructions: Clearly mark any items that should not be counted (e.g., consignment, reprocessed items) and include any relevant special instructions.
Access to Restricted Areas: Ensure we have access to any locked or restricted areas, especially during weekend visits.
Security Notification: Please notify your Security team in advance of our scheduled visit to avoid any access delays.
