Not just the post
In a hospital, internal deliveries mean far more than letters. Specimens moving to the lab, pharmacy items heading to a ward, patient notes, equipment, PPE: things move constantly between departments, and some of them matter a great deal. Treating all of it as generic post misses the point. The stakes vary enormously from one item to the next.
Time-critical items cannot wait
A sample that sits in the wrong tray for an hour is not a minor delay, it can affect a result and a patient. When something is time-critical, knowing exactly where it is and who has it stops being useful and starts being necessary. A record that updates at each handover means nothing is left to a phone call and a hopeful guess.
From department to department
Hospital deliveries pass through many hands across a large, busy site. Each transfer is a point where an item can go astray. Recording every handover, as its own scanned event, keeps a clear line of where something has been and where it is now, even across a sprawling building with hundreds of staff on shift.
The record when it is asked for
Healthcare runs on being able to account for things, and internal deliveries are no exception. A complete proof of delivery trail means that when a question comes about whether something arrived, and when, the answer is already recorded rather than pieced together from memory.
Keep critical items moving
Traizr tracks internal deliveries for hospitals with the same simple scan that works anywhere, applied where it matters most. To see how it would handle your departments, book a demo using the tracking system on your own site.
