Medline announced the launch of an enhanced version of TrackPoint, its online inventory management and patient item usage solution designed to help long-term care and inpatient hospice providers more easily track supplies from Medline, capture patient-level usage and gain visibility into inventory across locations.
TrackPoint provides a solution that helps facilities streamline how they order and manage supplies purchased from Medline. The platform gives providers greater control over supply management by automating manual workflows and enabling more accurate tracking of what is on hand, where products are used and when replenishment is needed.
"We know that our customers, especially in post-acute care, often don't have access to inventory management solutions and charge-capturing systems purpose-built for them," said Dave Kordik, vice president customer technology solutions, Medline. "Everything is very manual. We saw an opportunity to provide a more streamlined, modernized application for them."
TrackPoint integrates with PointClickCare for real-time patient data synching and helps providers improve inventory efficiency through several core capabilities:
- Real-time Medline inventory visibility to understand what is on hand, where it is located, and what needs to be restocked.
- Patient item and service usage tracking to support more accurate documentation and data needed for proactive care and operational efficiency.
- Standardized workflows to create consistent processes for receiving, dispensing and tracking supplies and services.
- Reduced manual work and errors through digital processes and barcode scanning.
- Simplified purchasing through Medline.com to streamline ordering and reduce duplicate data entry.
- Accurate multi-location inventory to manage multiple facilities for better counts and replenishment to align supply spend with patient needs and services delivered.
