Time to move from weight-based PAR bars to next-gen bins
Game-changing technology draws a line between how things used to get done and the new way of working.
Just when the healthcare supply chain needs smarter ways to reduce manual workflows and optimize their stock - next-gen weight-based PAR technology bursts onto the scene.
Weight-based PAR has broken free from bulky bars and is about to revolutionize how hospitals tackle medical supply management.
The perils of outdated PAR systems in healthcare
Manual PAR management is still popular in many hospitals but it has many disadvantages:
Manual supply management methods are showing their age, and healthcare facilities understand that there is a cost to staying in the past.
Systems that rely on manual counting and data entry are known to suffer from information gaps and data errors, leading to supply surpluses, shortages and stock-outs.
Providers understand that manual PAR systems are costing them dearly, and are looking for improved technology that can streamline supply management processes, improve operational efficiency, lower costs, and result in a balanced inventory.
They need a future-fit system that ensures supply matches demand.
It's time to look at next generation PAR.
First-Gen Weight-Based PAR
Weight-based PAR has been around for a while and has proven to be an effective way to automatically track medical supply stock levels.
The problem is that bulky bars and units have minimum space requirements that make them unsuitable for many smaller, cramped storerooms.
Even when providers have larger storage areas, many simply don’t want the hassle of redesigning these spaces to accommodate such a system.
So, the emergence of breakthrough technology, in the form of individual PAR bins that contain their very own built-in digital scale means that, finally, any supply space, storeroom, or even individual shelving unit, can become a digitally-managed supply hub.
Now weight-based PAR has been freed from big units, the options are endless.
How next-gen PAR-level management works
Technology has moved on.
In the commercial world customers are looking for convenience. So why in the healthcare sector should providers be stuck with an inflexible option?
The Wireless Weight-Based Bin is simply the next generation of PAR-level supply management in hospitals.
It offers all the accuracy and precision of weight-based PAR, along with the flexibility of an individual bin rather than a cumbersome unit.
Today's Automated PAR management captures real-time accurate data and makes life easier for everyone.
Set up: Quick, easy, and no printing labels!
Usage: Nurses just grab and go!
Digital supply management: The bins monitor their own stock, provide real-time data and auto-generate their own requisitions, based on a pre-set order point.
The fully automated system takes the strain out of supply management in departments. But more than that, the easy placement of these smart bins means that digital supply management is now an option in operating rooms and procedural areas.
Breakthrough weight-based PAR technology
Digital, portable weight-based PAR bins are revolutionizing supply management in healthcare facilities by improving storeroom efficiency, reducing supply expenditure, and optimizing stock levels.
In addition, staff capacity is improved:
It's time to realize the huge leap forward that next generation PAR bins are bringing to supply management in healthcare.
