Lesson 31 · Sterile Storage, Transport and Inventory Management
Supply Chain usually buys the stock, but you keep what you handle in date, intact and in its place, and report problems.
In this lesson
Sort the stock into operational and patient care supplies and into reusable and consumable items, follow an item from purchase to the user, read a commercially sterilized package's label, symbols and expiration date and inspect it before it goes out, compare the common replenishment systems, and do your part on STAT orders, losses and excess stock.
