Addressing Stock Management Challenges with MocDoc’s Zero Stock MIS 

Published by: Mohammed Siddiq

Effective stock management is a critical aspect of any healthcare facility, ensuring that essential supplies are available when needed and minimizing waste from expired or unused items. However, one common challenge is the lack of visibility into stock levels, particularly identifying when items are out of stock. This can lead to significant issues such as treatment delays, increased operational costs, and compromised patient care. MocDoc’s Zero Stock MIS report is designed to address these challenges by providing a comprehensive overview of stock levels, specifically highlighting products with zero stock.

The Challenges of Not Knowing Zero Stock Levels

Treatment Delays 🕒

When essential medical supplies or medications run out unexpectedly, it can delay treatments and procedures. This not only affects patient care but also disrupts the workflow of healthcare providers.

Increased Costs 💵

Frequently running out of stock can lead to emergency procurement, which often comes at a higher cost. Additionally, overstocking to avoid running out can result in wasted resources if items expire before use.

Operational Inefficiencies ⚙️

Without accurate stock information, staff may spend unnecessary time searching for items or verifying stock levels manually. This time could be better spent on patient care and other critical tasks.

Compromised Patient Care ❤️

Inadequate stock levels can lead to suboptimal treatment options or delays in critical care, directly impacting patient outcomes and satisfaction.

💼 The Challenge: Streamlining Pricing Strategies in Charitable Hospitals

In charitable hospitals, setting the right price for medications and supplies is crucial for balancing patient affordability with the institution's financial sustainability. Hospitals often need to offer medications at prices lower than the Maximum Retail Price (MRP) but still above the purchase cost to maintain their operations. This challenge is especially significant in managing pharmacy sales, where maintaining a delicate balance between cost-effectiveness and revenue generation is essential.

🛠️The Solution: Introducing the Sale Rate Calculator

To address this pricing challenge, we have introduced a new feature within the Goods Received Note (GRN) screen: the Sale Rate Calculator. This tool is designed to simplify the process of determining the optimal sale price for products, ensuring that your pricing strategy is both fair and financially sustainable.

📊 Understanding the Sale Rate Feature

When a product is added to the GRN screen, three key pricing parameters are typically involved:

  • Purchase Price: The cost at which the product is acquired from the supplier.
  • MRP (Maximum Retail Price): The highest price at which the product can be sold to patients.
  • Sale Rate: A flexible pricing option that allows hospitals to sell the product at a price between the purchase price and MRP.
🔢 How the Sale Rate Calculator Works

With the new Sale Rate Calculator feature, calculating the sale price has never been easier. If the Sale Rate option is enabled for a product, the Sale Rate field will automatically appear on the GRN screen when the product is selected. Here's how the Sale Rate Calculator enhances the process:

Step 1: Automatic Display: As soon as you add a product to the GRN screen, the Sale Rate field will be displayed alongside the Purchase Price and MRP.
Step 2: Accessing the Calculator: Next to the Sale Rate field, you’ll find a calculator icon. Clicking on this icon will open the Sale Rate Calculator.
Step 3: Choosing Calculation Basis: The calculator will prompt you to choose whether to base your calculation on the Purchase Price or MRP.
Step 4: Entering Margin Percentage: You can then enter the desired margin percentage.
Step 5: Automatic Calculation: The calculator will automatically compute the Sale Rate based on your input.

🧮 Example Scenarios: Sale Rate Calculation

To clarify how this feature works, let’s walk through a couple of examples:

  • Example 1: If you set the Purchase Price at ₹100 and the MRP at ₹200, and you enter a margin percentage of 50% based on the Purchase Price, the Sale Rate will be calculated as ₹150.
  • Example 2: Alternatively, if you base your calculation on the MRP and enter a 50% margin, the Sale Rate will be calculated as ₹100, reflecting the discount off the MRP.
This tool allows you to adjust prices dynamically, ensuring they align with your hospital’s pricing strategy and charitable objectives.

⭐Benefits of the Sale Rate Calculator

The Sale Rate Calculator offers several key advantages:

  • Efficiency: Quickly calculates optimal sale prices, saving time in the pricing process.
  • Flexibility: Allows for easy adjustments to meet your hospital’s specific pricing needs.
  • Transparency: Provides clear visibility into how sale prices are determined, supporting better financial management.
🎯 Conclusion: Elevating Your Hospital's Pricing Strategy

The Sale Rate Calculator is a valuable addition to our GRN screen, empowering charitable hospitals to manage their pricing strategies with greater precision and ease. By automating and simplifying the calculation of sale rates, this feature helps hospitals maintain the crucial balance between patient affordability and financial health.

The Complexity of Patient Admissions

Patient admission is a critical and often complex process in healthcare settings. It involves capturing comprehensive information, managing various types of admissions, and ensuring a seamless transition from the outpatient to the inpatient setting. The complexity is compounded by the need to handle diverse admission types, including inpatient and daycare admissions, and the necessity to coordinate with multiple departments.
