Case Study
Streamlining Central Supply at Regional Hospital
Regional hospital system (La Crosse area)
Challenge
Central supply was struggling with outdated shelving, manual cart retrieval, and inefficient pick paths. Nurses were spending hours on supply runs instead of patient care. Par-level storage was disorganized.
Solution
Bernie's designed a new central supply layout with Lyon medical carts, Ridg-U-Rak shelving with par-level organization, and Southworth lift tables for heavy supply handling. We implemented a cart-based distribution system.
Result
Supply retrieval time reduced by 45%. Nurses reported less fatigue and more time for patient care. Par-level accuracy improved, and the facility passed a compliance audit with zero findings.
