Macquarie University Hospital chooses the h-trak system for their Supply Chain Management Solution
Prospitalia h-trak is delighted to have been selected to partner with Macquarie University Hospital for the implementation of the h-trak system to provide the hospital’s Supply Chain Management solution.
The h-trak system will be implemented within all interventional departments of the hospital, including the Operating Theatres, Angio Suite, Endoscopy and the trans-oesophageal echocardiogram (TOE) departments. Once implemented, the h-trak system will provide Macquarie University Hospital with efficient and effective processes for Inventory Management, Purchasing & Replenishment of supplies, and Prostheses Billing.
Another core component of the system will include Prospitalia h-trak’s unique Preference Card Management System, which will seamlessly address the end-to-end processes from patient booking and setup of procedures, through to the supply chain management and replenishment of critical supplies used in these high-cost procedure settings.
In addition, Prospitalia h-trak will provide the very granular, procedure level data to allow Macquarie University Hospital to analyse spend, with the aim of reducing wastage and costs.
“We are grateful for the decision by Macquarie University to select us as their system for Hospital Supply Chain Management” said Kirk Kikirekov, Prospitalia h-trak’s Managing Director. “We are looking forward to working collaboratively with Macquarie on this project, to ensure that we produce a successful outcome, and we look forward to a long and mutually rewarding working relationship” he added.
Walter Kmet, Chief Executive Officer of Macquarie University Hospital, said: “This new state-of-the-art digital supply chain solution will ensure that Macquarie University Hospital can continue to provide the highest quality patient care and manage hospital resources more effectively.”
The project commenced in August 2022, and will start to deliver results as we roll out each department in the coming few months.
