Case Study: Concord Hospital recovers 5,800 clinical hours and reduces inventory 30% with Tecsys Elite Healthcare POU

Concord Hospital Sees Performance Boost at the Point of Use

Concord Hospital, a 295‑licensed‑bed regional medical center in New Hampshire, sought to improve just‑in‑time replenishment under its Low Unit of Measure (LUM) and Lean initiatives. Leaders targeted 24 high‑impact departments—focusing on med‑surg general supplies and high‑cost/consignment items in specialty areas—to improve point‑of‑use inventory accuracy and provide better data to their LUM provider.

They implemented Tecsys’ Elite™ Healthcare POU—an RFID‑enabled two‑bin Kanban and barcode tracking solution—to automate replenishment and item‑level traceability. Results included 5,800+ clinical hours returned, a 30% reduction in on‑hand inventory (~$285K savings), $150K less waste in year one, 53% less materials management time on replenishment, 25% space savings, and real‑time analytics and automated requisitions supporting JIT and the LUM program.
