Hospital Materials Management

Hospital Materials Management Automation Tool

Hospital materials management departments focus on cost containment, but staff members are often overwhelmed with the day-to-day tasks that keep them from streamlining workflow and taking advantage of potential savings on supplies that are used.

Boston WorkStation (BWS) is task automation software that allows you to automate the workflow that can clog a hospital materials management department. It gives hospitals and  the ability to automate materials management workflow resulting in FTE savings, improved accuracy and ultimately allows the department to contribute significant savings to the bottom line.

As hospital materials management departments work with different vendors via e-commerce platforms they are discovering how automation can speed and improve communication with vendors over the Internet. At Greenwich Hospital in Connecticut, for example, they are using Boston WorkStation to upload new charge codes from Lawson to MEDITECH. Automating this task saves staff time, increases accuracy and aides in speeding the billing process.
