Key takeaways

  • Short list of people
  • Entry record
  • Sign-out routine
  • Fewer losses

01The problem

Portable equipment is the thing hospitals lose most quietly: a pump here, a monitor there. Without a record of who took what and when, the loss is discovered at the next audit. A reader on the equipment store, a short list of people who may enter, and a sign-out routine give the hospital something it can follow up.

Short list of peopleOnly those who need the store.
Entry recordWho entered and when.
