Logistics Department
A hospital is a complex technical system of many actions, structures, material flows and people. Different wards and areas of operations are involved in the daily routine of a hospital. Chemists, storage, laundry, kitchen, administration, laboratory, sterilization, cleaning, disposal etc. are influencing the success of a hospital enormously. Aside from the medical attendance, efficient actions and the coordination of all logistical items contribute to hospitals quality. Logistics in hospitals are efficient when they fulfill their functions and are unnoticed by employees.
We mainly focus on the following topics:
Supply of hospital wards
Individual adjusted supply processes ensure a steady supply of wards. As trustful partner we develop process transparency in storage and wards, reduce inventory and optimize inventory management and help to save costs. At the same time employees and patients profit from a solid supply.
Planning of logistics systems
Planning of logistics systems include the integrated planning,
analysis and conception of in-house logistics systems. Because of the variety of logistics processes in hospitals an objective overall view is necessary. Therefore we offer cross-functional planning of location, storage, material flow and/or transport and develop integrated, adequate concepts for your hospital.
Logistics control in hospitals
Hospitals are complex logistic systems including personnel flows and material flows which have to be controlled. This task can be solved through the implementation of a control center. A control center schedules and controls all resources, personnel flows and material flows of a hospital. The goal is to achieve a total optimum and to be able to react on exceptional circumstances confidently. You can benefit from the advantages of a control center because we support your hospital with the conception and implementation of such a center.
Logistic operational concept
Additional to the medical operational concept it is important to work out the needs and requirements of the prospective optimal logistic system in a hospital at an early stage of a hospital building. This should be done within a logistic operational concept. In connection with this concept, processes of supply, areas for logistics and the necessary technical systems are planned and defined early before a hospital starts to work. A complete logistic operational concept ensure that after implementation processes in a hospital run with high economic efficiency, on sufficient huge areas with fitting technical support.
