Improving Inventory Management Practices in Nursing Schools
Introduction
Campbellsville University is a private institution located in Campbellsville, Kentucky. Established in 1906, the university offers a comprehensive range of undergraduate and graduate programs across various disciplines. It is affiliated with the Kentucky Baptist Convention and seeks to provide a nurturing environment that combines academic excellence with Christian values. The university's faculty members are dedicated educators who are committed to helping students succeed academically, personally, and spiritually.
The university has multiple campuses across the country. As such, they needed a way to keep track of inventory and manage those supplies efficiently. This is important to make sure that faculty, students and staff have access to all the resources and supplies they would need to thrive in the university.
The Challenge of Managing Healthcare Supplies Before Using Our System
The School of Nursing at Campbellsville University is in 3 locations and offers four programs. This means that the staff in the department has to keep an eye on inventory that is constantly moving to a different location. They struggled with a lack of visibility over items crucial to their programs, including healthcare supplies, healthcare equipment, laboratory equipment, and more. This led to overspending on items and resources that weren’t necessary as they could not tell how many items they had in each of their locations.
This kickstarted their search for a software to manage their school’s inventory and equipment. They asked themselves, “What is the best inventory management software for schools out there?”
