Case Study: Putnam County Memorial Hospital achieves SDS management time and cost savings with VelocityEHS

Putnam County Memorial Hospital Find SDS Management Cost Savings With VelocityEHS

Putnam County Memorial Hospital is a 25‑bed rural acute care facility serving northern Missouri and southern Iowa that must tightly control costs and streamline staff work. Director of Purchasing Lisa Schmidt found that managing paper binders of safety data sheets was time-consuming and unsustainable for a small team, creating a need for a more efficient, compliant chemical/SDS management solution.

The hospital implemented VelocityEHS Chemical Management (partly funded by a grant), replacing manual SDS binders with a cloud‑based, mobile‑accessible system. The change delivered faster, more accurate SDS access, improved regulatory compliance, meaningful time savings that translated to cost savings, and freed staff to focus on higher‑value tasks.
