Customer goal
In Spring 2005, the management at Kantonsspitals Freiburg (HCF) decided to implement measures to optimize the fields of purchasing and stock management. The goal was to introduce a solution, with which every product arriving at HCF can be identified exactly complete with precise information on the relevant site. A volume of around 25 million items per year (including central store and hospital chemist) was to be processed for 25 users.
Practical experiences
"This solution offers a wide range of benefits, in particular reduced administration, removal of the double shift check on medication, increased security, reduced losses incurred by non-invoiced medication and a more intelligent stock management system", explains one employee.

The application
In close cooperation with hospital administration solution provider Opale (Ordi-Conseil SA), ICS developed a tailor-made solution to enable the hospital staff to carry out instructions issued by the hospital management: the main chemist, for example, was equipped with the mobile data recording terminal DT-X7 for reading in the medication code and printing labels. Data processed in this way is transferred directly to the Opal application. The result is complete traceability of all products and medication - from entry into stock at the hospital chemist through to distribution to the departments requiring the product.
