More and more hospitals and clinics are making the push towards electronic health records. This trend allows them to improve efficiency, reduce storage, and ensure that records are protected in the cloud, even in the case of a natural disaster, fire, and other crisis situations. We love that hospitals are embracing the benefits that technology and the digital age offer, but this does prompt us to ask one important question: If you’ve made the move to electronic health records, why are you still logging packages by hand?
Times Are Changing
The good news is that these facilities are one step closer to reaping the benefits of package tracking software. They have recognized that technology is something to be celebrated and leveraged, not feared. Now they must take the next step and go beyond health records to take full advantage of technology and the cloud.
Several key benefits make our easy track it package logging system superior to hand logging, specifically for hospitals!
- Focus on patient care: Hand writing each piece of data associated with a package is time consuming and tedious. This nuisance multiplies each time the item is moved within your organization. Package tracking software allows your hospital’s staff to log packages 4-10 times faster than by hand. Once logged, they can track movements within the facility in seconds with a scan of the barcode. Greatly reducing the amount of time your staff spends tracking and logging package leads to more time to devote to patient care.
- Prevent lost or misplaced lab results. Our package logging system allows your staff to quickly log items in via computer or mobile device. They will then track these parcels as they move throughout the facility with our waypoints system. If there is ever any question regarding where a patients lab samples have been sent or what department has a specific shipment of supplies your staff may get an answer with the tap of a few keys.
- Protect your logs: It’s a simple fact of paper documentation – these documents are vulnerable to loss, theft, and damage. Something as minor as a spilt coffee can ruin your whole hand log, forcing you to start from scratch. Our package tracking software is cloud based. Thus, even if your hardware is all damaged or lost, you will still be able to regain access to your entire package log.
You take extra care of the electronic documentation of your patients’ data, make sure that you give their lab samples and medications the same treatment with our package logging system.
