The working approach paired weekly metrics with two audiences: logistics and clinical organizations. ¹ Quarterly progress reports extended the loop to leadership and kept supply chain performance visible at a broader level. ¹ This combination helped the system address inconsistent inventory practices across eleven hospitals. ¹

The platform also supported comprehensive patient charge capture for supplies. ¹ That feature broadened the solution beyond waste reduction and inventory ownership. The design principle is straightforward: measure the work regularly, share the measure with the people who act on it, and review progress at the level where priorities are set.
