MEDITECH Releases Updated Decision Support and Guidance for Coronavirus (Revised 07/09/20)
New materials include an inventory burn rate calculator to determine when critical inventory is stressed.
MEDITECH continually monitors the CDC and WHO for updated recommendations, to ensure our guidance, enhancements, and support tools reflect the latest evidence. To help customers meet the demands of the COVID-19 crisis, MEDITECH continues to develop and update decision support, workflow guides, and configuration instructions.
Inventory Burn Rate Calculator
To assist organizations with optimizing supply, MEDITECH has created a burn rate calculator that helps facilities to determine when critical inventory is stressed and estimate how long remaining stock items will last. The calculator includes a SQL-stored procedure and a Google spreadsheet with dashboards displaying the burn rate of supplies, such as masks and gloves.
