(Master)minding the Store: Logistics Management |
| |
by James Arthur Anderson |
| |
Dress it up in fancy word play, but, when you come right down to it, logistics is the
art — and the science — of getting the right thing to the right place at the
right time. Sure, clinical engineers and biomeds face the same logistical challenges as
people in other businesses, but the healthcare industry’s inimitable life-saving
aspect gives new meaning to the phrase, “just-in-time.” |

a large company or small independent, you’re sure to be outstanding in the field with
a full complement of field-service management tools. |

| |

fail at critical moments, compromising patient safety? Maybe you set up a
battery-replacement schedule. But what’s a good way to determine the interval for
scheduled replacements? The Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin answered those questions
— and more — by instituting a battery-analysis program. |
