October 6, 2021 – Medline recently announced the launch of MedPack App, a new digital tool for clinicians that allows partners to easily access the MedPack digital pack management system on the go – by phone, tablet, or computer.
Using a proprietary algorithm to match searchers with relevant results, the app enables customers to customize and manage medical pack inventory in real-time.
“Custom surgical packs are critical to efficiently delivering surgical supplies to the operating room. However, tracking supplies throughout the supply chain is a difficult task, especially for Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) that work with lean inventories and smaller staffs,” Medline said in a release. “The complexity of having to manually order items, maintain inventory of critical items, and manage storage makes the job even more challenging.”
The MedPack App empowers users in four core ways:
- Search and Scan. The app allows users to easily search and access information on any component either through a cleansed global search or by scanning the barcode of any single sterile item or Medline pack.
- Through the app, users can report pack quality incidents to Medline by scanning the barcode and sending a picture.
- Users can quickly create, approve and send quotes directly to their Medline rep for review while providing updates on when changes will arrive via Pack Tracking.
- My Packs: The app also provides visibility into the partner’s whole pack program anytime, including bills of material, component photos and descriptions, and current pack pricing.
