Phase I: Physical Inventory

The Advantix management staff sets up the facility's physical inventory by mapping and tagging areas to be inventoried such as: the operating room, interventional radiology, the cath-lab, cardiology, ambulatory, recovery, emergency room, central supply, etc.

The Advantix technical team and management staff creates system control sheets along with a physical inventory action plan.

The Advantix technical team establishes a relationship with the facility's management information systems staff to set up templates for data extraction, normalization and analysis. The data is reviewed by Advantix management and then validated with the client's technical team. This data is then loaded to Advantix-IMAP.

The Advantix inventory teams are assigned physical inventory areas to perform counts on, using laptop computers and the physical inventory action plan. Once the physical inventory is in progress, audits are performed on inventory locations by the on site management team.
