Question 1

What is hospital inventory management software?

Accepted Answer

Hospital inventory management software tracks drugs, consumables, and equipment across a hospital's departments in real time — stock levels, batch and expiry, indents, and purchase. It replaces spreadsheets and manual registers so facilities cut wastage and avoid stockouts, and it shows where stock is, what is expiring, and what to reorder across the central store and individual wards.

Question 2

Does it track equipment and assets as well as drugs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Lifemaan's inventory module covers both consumable stock (drugs and supplies) and durable equipment and assets, with records for each. So you manage fast-moving pharmacy and consumable stock alongside the hospital's equipment in one system, rather than tracking assets separately.

Question 3

Does it send expiry and batch alerts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Stock is tracked batch-wise with expiry dates, and the system alerts you to near-expiry items so they are used or returned before they are written off. This directly reduces dead stock and the cost of expired drugs and consumables.

Question 4

Does it link to the pharmacy and billing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Inventory connects to Lifemaan's pharmacy and billing modules, so dispensing and consumption draw down stock automatically and chargeable items flow to the patient bill. Stock, pharmacy, and billing stay in sync without manual re-entry between them.

Question 5

Does it produce department-wise consumption reports?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Wards and departments raise indents from the central store, and the system reports consumption by department — so administrators can see where stock is going, control leakage, and plan purchases. Reports are available on mobile, tablet, or computer.
