Cloud-based healthcare inventory management is the monitoring and maintenance of a hospital’s inventory using online inventory management software. These cloud-based applications streamline the inventory management process by providing real-time updates that reduce common mistakes associated with traditional methods of measuring stock levels in hospitals. The main benefits of cloud-based inventory management are:
- The customer doesn’t have to invest in servers and other technology hardware
- Maintenance is handled by the software provider
- The customer is always on the most up-to-date version, which is pushed out automatically
- Security is often less of a concern in cloud-based software
- It’s easily scalable, meaning more users/departments can be easily added
