Expiration tracking is a critical issue for many medical practices, since medications are some of the biggest expenses they incur. Not only are drugs expensive, but they are also crucial to the operation of your practice. This usually results in keeping too much inventory at any given time, opening you up to cash flow issues and possibly having to throw away expired products. Take a minute this week to examine your inventory. Are any products expired? How much money did they cost?
If your practice is similar to others, it's probably difficult to determine exactly how much inventory you have, and whether any items need to be reordered. The question then is finding a tool that can effectively track all this information and provide you timely guidance on managing your supplies.
In today’s world we have software and apps for just about every aspect of our lives. They provide us with crucial information, help us get organized, and simplify the processes we go through every day. What about your office? Do you have a system for tracking your inventory? Maybe it’s time to use technology in your business life, just like you do in your personal life.
