When you’re dealing with dozens of sick patients who trust you to treat them, the last thing you need is your outdated, manual package tracking slowing down inventory shipments.
Not only could this affect the reputation of your medical institution, but it could also put your patients at risk due to an incomplete inventory of important drugs and medication!
Similarly, reports, X-rays, and patient history often need to be delivered right to the hospital from outsourced locations, the delay of which could be dangerous or even fatal to your patients.
Manual tracking puts your institution’s mailrooms at risk of error—from system-wide discrepancies, delays, poorly documented deliveries as well as making it difficult to measure productivity, staffing requirements, proof-of-delivery and chain of custody.
An automated package tracking system like TekTrack might be exactly what your hospital needs to streamline mailroom services, and here’s why:

It can also help you track packages until they reach their proper recipient, upon with proof-of-delivery is acquired using e-signatures.
