The HSV Catalogue will provide public health services with a central source of pricing and product data, create supply chain efficiencies and ultimately contribute to initiatives that improve patient care.
Supply chain efficiencies:
- Providing accurate and up-to-date information for public health services will reduce queries and phone traffic
- More accurate invoicing, reducing the number of queries
- Populating multiple state catalogues without duplicating effort
- Fewer products sent back due to incorrect ordering
- Enabling EDI and realising the financial benefits of an efficient supply chain
Better patient care:
- Greater ability to track products, contributing to patient safety initiatives
- Ability to identify functional equivalents – or products in the same family – to substitute unavailable items
- Improved supplier information and images in the HSV Catalogue makes ordering easier to ensure the right product is sent to the right place at the right time
