Case Study: Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust achieves £421,000 savings with Advanced Patient-level Resource Management

Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust saves £421,000 with Advanced

Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust was struggling with stock control in its theatres and lacked a clear, efficient way to manage inventory and budget detail. The Trust turned to Advanced and its Patient-level Resource Management (PRM) system to improve procurement control, track items at patient level, and give better visibility into theatre spending.

Advanced implemented PRM across all 23 main theatres, with a refined rollout based on core billing materials and input from clinical staff. The system automated stock checks and reordering, reduced waste, and delivered £421,000 in savings, with a further 3% saving expected from product standardisation on a £5.5 million theatre budget.
