Introduction
Electronic Healthcare Systems has been providing materials management software to hospitals in the United States since 1980. In an independent survey the EHS Materials Resource Management software was rated the best supported in the United States.
Electronic Healthcare System’s software automates the work involved in ordering, receiving, matching invoices and expediting, in fact, most tasks involved with purchasing, inventory and accounting. It allows the users to track their usage accurately and calculates Reorder Quantities so that materials are ordered only when they are needed. The system dramatically reduces stock-outs, duplicate orders, tracks contract usage and reduces in house inventory.
The materials manager becomes armed with information about each supplier's reliability and how much of their product the hospital uses so that contract negotiations are more productive.
Using EHS’s system, paper, telephone calls and data entry are cut down dramatically. EHS actively pursues a paperless environment with every installation. Work flow technology, i.Pac (Intuitive Processing Application Logic), assures you that all steps of your business process are monitored.
The system is very flexible and is set up to work within the hospital’s existing framework, both in terms of computer systems and in terms of how a hospital runs its business, so that any changeover is achieved with minimum effort and upset to staff.
EHS has partnered with numerous companies to offer its customers the latest technology and a reasonable price for systems solutions. This is of particular interest in today’s healthcare market because what is the value of new technology if your hospital can’t afford it! EHS is the company that practices what it preaches. An ROI achievable in the least amount of time.
“Adaptability. Electronic Healthcare Systems has been very responsive to suggestions. The result is a very comprehensive system that covers most aspects of Materials Management very well.”
