Crisis Avoided Through IV Solution Sharing
Product shortages due to supply chain issues can have a tremendous impact on the ability to provide quality care. One weekend, a healthcare system in the east experienced a shortage when its manufacturer could not deliver the needed IV solution to several facilities. The system had already put a MedSpeed logistics network in place as part of its integration strategy, which meant it had a reliable, centralized solution.
The Challenge
IV solution shortage at several facilities.
The Solution
MedSpeed transferred IV solution from hospitals with extra to those with the shortage.
The Result
The system avoided a care crisis and had zero negative impact on patients.
Repositioned IV Solution, Avoiding Negative Impact on Patient Care
With one call, the MedSpeed team was alerted to the issue and potential care emergency. MedSpeed worked with the system to transfer the IV solution from hospitals with extra to those in short supply.
As a result, the system avoided a crisis and made it through the weekend without negatively impacting patient care.
