Data Cleansing & Management 

Cleaning up your data and optimizing your business

The amount of data passing through today’s hospitals on a daily basis is staggering. Over time, that data becomes increasingly altered and redundant due to the many individuals and systems that touch it or interface with it. Incorrect, incomplete, improperly formatted or duplicated items can clog up supply chain data and interfere with efficient operations.

Owens & Minor’s Data Cleansing & Management services ensure your hospital is operating with up-to-date and reliable data. Through product normalization, standardization and categorization techniques, your critical data is cleansed on an ongoing basis, and you work only with the best information available.

Remarkably thorough, our Data Management services perfect the supply chain information that flows though your materials management information system (MMIS). We can identify and consolidate duplicate items to create a unique item master, enrich data with catalog numbers and classifications, and even scan purchase order files to create an organized activity log of each item. And, by cleansing vendor files, the service creates unique sets of vendor master data, which can be used with the item master and PO files to ensure order accuracy and improved vendor negotiations.
 
Highly customizable and appropriate for healthcare enterprises of every size and complexity, our Data Management services create a solid foundation for more accurate analysis and increased visibility across your entire supply chain.
