DATA GROUP ASSET MANAGEMENT (DGAM)
In the UK, as the NHS treats a million patients every 36 hours (2018) and the private sector involvement encompasses an increasingly complex range of activities, the healthcare industry faces unique challenges prioritising financial sustainability, care delivery, patient centricity, digital transformation and regulatory compliance.
Healthcare locations across the UK have an overwhelming amount of equipment, devices and other medical assets needing to be tracked and managed and for every healthcare worker, there are extensive numbers of tools and devices to help them deliver the best in patient care. Once seen as a finance function, Asset Management has evolved to become a critical part of how companies operate. The common challenge for today’s companies is how to accurately keep track of its assets accumulated across the organisation.
Basic static list asset information in the form of receipts and serial numbers are now insufficient when a company needs to produce information on an asset’s history, when the asset was last serviced and by whom as well as its last operating location, its purchase history and written down value. In addition, various departments within the company will interact with the same asset but for different reasons – Finance, Procurement, Operations, Health and Safety and IT. Without reliable records, companies also risk being held to task about their duty of care, proof of ownership and of course, unforeseen events such as a workplace incident risks satisfying insurance company requirements in the event of a claim.
Companies have limited resources – financial, labour and time. The DATA GROUP ASSET MANAGEMENT (DGAM) system recognises these constraints and achieves ROI in all these areas, optimising your company’s operations, avoiding the duplication of processes and preventing any hidden assets the company has paid for being misplaced or underutilised.
