Lake Mead hospital conversion to complete delivery system

TL;DRAbstract

The objective of this case study is to determine the cost difference between using a conventional type of inventory system in the operating room versus using a pack system in the operating room. In this study three different ways of delivering disposables for a laminectomy procedure were considered: 1) multiple distributors of disposables, 2) single distributor of disposables, and 3) the pack system (CDS by Medline). The first comparison was of multiple distributors vs. a single distributor with a cost difference of $90.08 per procedure and $18,916.80 annually, multiple distributor costing less. The second comparison was between Medline as a single distributor and Medline's CDS pack system; with a cost difference of $250.13 per procedure and $52,527.30 annually, CDS pack system costing less. The third comparison was of multiple distributors vs. Medline's CDS pack system, with differences of $167.04 per procedure and annual differences of $35,078.40, CDS pack system costing less. Anothe
