Hardcat Business Services team assists Southern Health with its fixed asset management

Southern Health, a large Australian hospital network, utilised Hardcat Business Services to undertake a fixed asset audit and capture asset data for loading into their Hardcat fixed asset database.

The Issue expand

The scale of the project was quite considerable, requiring Hardcat personnel to visit five major hospital sites as well as assorted community health centres. The full range of assets, including medical equipment and instruments, physiological monitoring equipment, anaesthetic equipment, diagnostic equipment, as well as motor vehicles, furniture and computer equipment, had to be audited and entered into Hardcat quickly, without any interruption to the normal running of the hospitals.

 

The Hardcat Solution expand

Dianna Hill, Hardcat Project Manager said: "During the six weeks of the project, my staff barcoded 14,000 assets, with all relevant information such as location, serial number, etc, and entered them into Hardcat. After this we reconciled the old system to the new data in Hardcat, and we balanced it to the cent. Some of the unusual areas my team were required to audit were the animal house and even the morgue!"

 

Benefits from implementing Hardcat expand

Hardcat accomplished the audit in a professional manner, with no disruption to services for Southern Health patients, which was a priority to the Network.

Phil Whitmee of Southern HealthCare praised the work of Hardcat Business Services: "Dianna and her staff were able to accomplish the audit in a professional manner, with no disruption to services for our patients which was obviously of a priority to the Network.

"I would be only too happy to recommend both the Hardcat software as well as Hardcat Business Services to any organisation looking to control their assets."
