Thanks to a structured approach and the use of reliable data via Atlas InWay, Marie-Lannelongue Hospital has achieved tangible and measurable results as part of its outsourcing
of sterilization.
Here are the main benefits observed:
-
Enhanced traceability: With a unified database, the two establishments share
a common language for surgical instruments, improving transparency and safety
throughout the sterilization process. -
Reduction of duplicates: The standardization of the 37 operating compositions has allowed
a 32% reduction in distinct instrument references, thereby limiting the risk of confusion
and simplifying inventory management. -
Rationalization of operating trays: An average reduction of 3 instruments per tray
was possible, simplifying handling, reducing sterilization costs and easing logistics. -
Optimization of logistics flows: Monitoring the rotation of compositions for a year made it possible to optimize the number of journeys between the two sites, reducing transport costs and improving
real-time availability of instruments. -
Savings on purchasing new instruments: Rationalization of instruments in
The compositions made it possible to avoid the purchase of 573 additional instruments, which generated
a direct saving of €33,000. This saving is a significant financial lever in the context
of outsourcing.
