A hospital trust, part of one of the highest performing healthcare organisations in Europe, required the support of RGIS. The trust has a proven international reputation for its quality of care, information technology, clinical education, training and research, has multiple sites employing more than 20,000 members of staff.

REQUIREMENT
The hospital trust needed a solution to update the asset register as the current system was not set up for the rapid growth within the hospital, and was causing blind spots in the data. The hospital trust required RGIS to provide the following:

• National coverage to cover all 42 healthcare facilities
• Count both capital and non-capital assets
• Data has to include exact location, functionality, and a photo of each asset
• The solution has to resolve all existing blind spots in the asset visibility
• Be able to update existing asset register

SOLUTION
The hospital trust partnered with RGIS to complete the healthcare asset register update project, and provided the following:

• Experienced RGIS teams accurately counted both capital and non-capital assets
• Created an enhanced base inventory program designed to correct the existing issues and improve asset tracking
• The current tagging system was converted to a more efficient system to record the data required
• Implemented the new asset tracking system across the 42 healthcare facilities which included hospitals, health centres, residential care facilities and adult tertiary rehabilitation

RESULTS
The hospital trust found by outsourcing the healthcare asset register update project to RGIS, the following results were achieved:

• 25,000 assets counted over four months
• New, efficient inventory program created and implemented
• Electronic data return allowed for next-day reporting
• Gave the hospital trust the insight necessary to make informed business decisions
