Case Study:
The Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust selected Eleanor as its materials management partner for our hospital and inventory management experience and ability to implement new innovative GS1 compatible system solutions providing greater regulatory compliance, patient safety and operational efficiencies.
Eleanor’s first-hand experience in most UK hospitals showed many instances where hospital fluids and Med Surgical items left in unsecure hospital areas without system tracking, which staff member has handled the order and whether the products arrived safely at the hospital ward.
Eleanor introduced a new online ‘value add’ hospital tracking system called HOSLO. Our bespoke system is the first of its kind in any UK hospital and was designed to monitor the movement in real-time of all hospital orders from goods in stores to hospital ward, adding a layer of extra security and patient safety to know the precise location of every fluid carton and order in real time.
The Royal Brompton & Harefield is now the first UK Hospital with a system providing 11 stages of ‘live’ date and time tracking from goods in store to ‘proof of delivery signature’ and confirmation on when the order was placed in the hospital ward store and by which member of staff.
Due to the success of this new system, Eleanor met with CQC Strategy & Intelligence, where our system was warmly received for its patient and product safety benefits and our user friendly on line tracking tool allowing end users to track their pharmacy fluid and med surgical purchase orders in real time from goods in store to ‘proof of delivery signature’, onto the hospital ward store shelf, and by which member of staff.
