REQUIREMENT
The UK private hospital group needed to partner with a
national company offering asset tagging services, so chose RGIS to provide the following:

identify which hospital had what equipment
- Specify where within the hospital the
equipment was located
- To determine what equipment
needed replacing
- To confirm all
equipment was tagged and on the
central asset register
-
National coverage required
SOLUTIONThe private hospital group partnered with RGIS to work on the
hospital asset tagging project and provided the following:
- All hospitals and then wards were contacted by RGIS to
discuss preparation prior
to asset count - All wards had
precise timings to ensure counts
worked around patient needs
-
Definitive reporting requirements were agreed with the hospital so Head Office could see everything as a whole and at a hospital level
RESULTS
By outsourcing
hospital asset tagging project to RGIS, the hospital group were able to identify the following:
- Equipment that had not been tagged
- Items in
unexpected locations
- With the solutions offered by RGIS, the hospital group could
redistribute equipment across hospitals rather than buying new equipment
- This is estimated to have
saved them in excess of £50,000
