Frequently Asked Questions
Why should you use FlexScanMD to manage your medical inventory?
We are supply-chain and medical inventory experts.
While medical inventory software is not the primary focus of Practice Management, Electronic Health Record or general accounting software, our system was developed by experts with extensive supply chain and inventory management experience.
Additionally, FlexScanMD is tightly integrated with most Practice Management or Electronic Health Record systems.
That is why FlexScanMD is the #1 medical inventory management system.
Why should practices keep track of inventory?
Poor inventory management leads to financial loss that most Practices do not quantify.
Here are just a few ways your Practice is losing money each month without having quality inventory management in place:
- Not having product on the shelf when a client is ready to purchase
- Having too much product that doesn’t sell
- Having to throw away expired items
- Running out of supplies, PPE, etc and having to pay a premium price at a local retail store for last minute replenishes
- Wasted employee time spent on manual, physical inventory counts
- Slower workflow due to manual entry of inventory used
- Data entry errors
- Buying stock when other locations have excess
- Lost tax write-offs due to incorrect inventory valuations
- Inability to track patients who received recalled product batches
- Theft
Because FlexScanMD enables their clients the highest level of inventory control, they save more money than it costs them for service.
Why is FlexScanMD superior to Excel for inventory management?
Continuing to use Excel for medical inventory management is equivalent to going back to 100% paper charting and file cabinets. It is antiquated, slow, prone to errors, full of forgotten data entry, has minimal reporting abilities, zero audit trails, and is not HIPAA compliant.
FlexScanMD can be accessed by you online from anywhere in the world and provides instant, real-time stats, reports, and alerts! Working across multiple locations is a breeze and having audit trails of who did what is priceless.
Another way to look at this…
Imagine if every time you went to the grocery store checkout that you had to manually enter every single item you are purchasing into an Excel spreadsheet? That store would quickly go out of business.
With FlexScanMD in your Practice, you will also be able to use scanners to quickly scan items out of Inventory. Like a grocery store, this is quick, accurate and provides you with the real-time data and metrics you need to run a highly successful Practice!
What is the advantage of Cloud or SaaS medical inventory management system?
Every successful and growing company across all industries uses Cloud-based systems (also known as Saas – Software as a Service). Whether it is your email provider, bookkeeping, Electronic Health Record or Practice Management system or simply your Payroll service, most likely it is a Cloud-based (on the Internet) service.
Having everything in the Cloud (internet) means you have instant redundancy with back up measures, real-time access and you are always using the latest version of the system. Nothing to download, install, re-install, or worry about a complete loss of your hard work and data due to fire, theft or equipment failure.
While Software as a Service (Saas) means you pay annual or monthly fees rather than a large up-front expense, it also means that your Software is always running, you never need to ‘buy the latest version’, and customer support is always just a phone call or email away.
Plus, you do not need to pay for an IT staff or have the ongoing expense of maintenance and upkeep for in-house servers and devices.
How can I keep track of expiring medicines?
No worries, FlexScanMD will send email alerts to whomever you wish, and display these alerts on the main screen. You will always know which items are expiring, within a time parameter of your choosing, giving you plenty of time to use that stock so it doesn’t go to waste.
