Before you started working at WestCMR, what did you think happened to surgical supplies sitting in hospital stock rooms if they were never used? What surprised you most about the surplus surgical supplies issue?
Despite working in a hospital, I didn’t realize how much potential for waste there was. I never thought about minimum order requirements or expiration dates. Managing that inventory can be very complex.
What changes in the healthcare industry do you think are next and how can WestCMR help meet any needs that result from those changes?
We are beginning to see Hospitals and Surgery Centers acknowledge and embrace the importance of green initiatives in healthcare, and that’s what WestCMR has been about from day one. We help facilities save money on the supplies they use every day, and keep usable product from ending up in the landfill.
