Case Study: Springhill Surgery Center saves time and improves inventory management with Hybrent

ASC has saved close to 20 hours per week ordering supplies, allowing the materials manager to spend more time for assisting surgeries

Springhill Surgery Center, a multi-specialty surgical and endoscopic center in Little Rock, Arkansas, was spending too much time on materials management. Surgical technologist Terry Crow had to manually check inventory across four supply rooms, create purchase orders for up to ten vendors, and place orders through multiple websites, phone calls, or faxes, leaving little time to scrub in for surgeries.

Hybrent provided a streamlined materials management solution that let Springhill search approved distributors and manufacturers, place one consolidated order, scan items by vendor, and track inventory and pricing from a mobile device. The result was a major efficiency gain: ordering time dropped from about four hours a day to four hours a week, saving close to 20 hours per week, while improving accuracy, visibility, contract compliance, and overall supply cost management.
