Warehousing and Stockpiling Services outside HospitalsMedical Logistics
Warehousing pharmaceuticals outside the hospital and emergency preparedness
- Warehouses outside the hospital that can free up space inside
Moving your hospital's warehouse outside the hospital frees up space inside. We also offer stockpile management services to respond to unforeseen emergencies.
Warehouse outside the hospital that expands space inside
Moving a medical supply warehouse used in SPD and the like outside the hospital significantly frees up space inside. The space inside the hospital that was previously used as a warehouse can now be used as space for patients and staff.
It also cuts down on traffic on the hospital grounds by dramatically reducing the number of suppliers arriving at the hospital entrance. Furthermore, as one warehouse serves multiple hospitals, it is possible to streamline overlapping tasks and conduct joint delivery.
Food and other stockpiling services for unexpected situations
In addition to stockpiles within the hospital, the warehouse outside the hospital can maintain reserve stockpiles of food and other items. Multiple off-site warehouses can be set up depending on the hospital's location. In the event of an unforeseen event, supplies will be sent from other areas to the warehouse maintaining reserve stockpiles in the relevant area. We also manage the expiration dates of food stockpiles.
Serving also as an SPD* warehouse
An SPD warehouse can be set up outside the hospital, where reserve stockpiles of food and other items are also maintained. We manage expiration dates and lots for both in-hospital and warehouse stockpiles.
Since medical supplies are delivered every day, delivery vehicles are easily available even in the event of an unforeseen incident. In addition, stockpiles can also be loaded with medical supplies, reducing delivery costs when replacing stockpiles.
- SPD
Supply Processing and Distribution (SPD) is a system that centrally manages a range of information from purchasing to storage and use of items within a hospital. In many cases, the system handles the management of medical supplies, pharmaceuticals, and general consumables.
Centralized procurement and billing for all group hospitals
In the case where stockpiles are procured separately at each hospital, the management system can be centralized by having the headquarters or the group purchasing company procure them in bulk.
Stockpiles can also be managed by the group hospital headquarters, the group purchasing company, or Sagawa Express. Control items include managing expiration dates and procuring replacement items.
