Supply Chain Management

Streamline cost and resource management to maximize OR productivity.

Effective ORs Start with an Effective Supply Chain

Efficient supply chain management is paramount to the financial health of operating rooms (ORs). Every day countless time and labor resources are wasted procuring instruments and supplies, orchestrating schedules across vendors and internal departments, and crunching numbers to manage OR budgets. Leap Rail introduces innovative solutions to tackle the complexities of the healthcare supply chain, empowering hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers to optimize costs, streamline processes, and enhance overall performance.

Complex OR Environments Lead to Complex Supply Chain Needs

With ORs being one of the largest sources of operating expenses in the healthcare system, an immense amount of attention is placed on the management and cost of operating room-related resources. With so many moving parts and people resources involved throughout the perioperative process, supply chain management can quickly become problematic.  

  • Cost Management Pressure: With rising healthcare costs, effective management of supplies, implants, and pharmacy items is critical to maintaining financial viability.
  • Lack of Visibility: Manual processes and disparate systems make it challenging to track and analyze costs associated with surgical cases, hindering decision-making and cost-saving initiatives.
  • Vendor Coordination: Coordinating with multiple vendors and managing interactions between OR staff, sterile processing, and vendor representatives consumes valuable time and resources, leading to inefficiencies and delays.

Harnessing Technology for Effective Resource Allocation

Leap Rail’s intelligent operating room management platform is in your corner when it comes to streamlining supply chain management in the OR.

Comprehensive Surgical Cost Analysis

Our platform captures detailed cost data at the item level, providing OR management with actionable insights to drive cost-saving initiatives. By summarizing this data into actionable insights, Leap Rail facilitates standardization and cost management efforts across facilities and surgeons.

Holistic Operating Room Performance Metrics
