A Hospital’s Journey to Improved Inventory Management
A nationally ranked hospital experiencing supply chain challenges leveraged Canon’s expertise in internal logistics to improve materials management within the hospital’s healthcare operation. After implementing best practices in inventory management, data tracking and employee development, the hospital saw improvements in the flow of materials, which allowed staff to focus more time and resources on excellence in patient care.
Canon Can Help Contain Costs and Improve Operational Efficiency for Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities
Canon helps healthcare providers accelerate their digital transformation. Hospitals and healthcare systems have a constant need to maintain an unimpeachable information governance program with consistently well-implemented and documented procedures. Inefficient recordkeeping puts protected health information at risk. This in turn increases the exposure of healthcare providers to financial penalties and legal action.
Two other concerns include reducing costs and increasing operational efficiency. These are often intertwined as healthcare systems seek to contain the true cost of services so they can translate reduced spend and improved efficiency into superior patient care. To meet these and other goals, healthcare organizations increasingly are tapping the expertise and advanced solutions that managed services partners such as Canon can provide. By teaming with us, hospitals can improve critical activities that include: medical supplies distribution and inventory management, digital mail, mailroom management, document scanning, billing statements covering hospital patient and physician services, and more.

How One Healthcare System Gained Control of Medical Gas Inventory Across 450+ Delivery Points
Managing medical gas inventory across multiple hospital locations is complex especially when visibility is limited, workflows are manual, and compliance requirements are high. One large healthcare system was moving more than 4,000 medical gas cylinders every month across 450+ delivery points, creating challenges with inventory control, rental costs, supply availability, and regulatory readiness.
Canon implemented a fully managed solution that took ownership of the gas inventory lifecycle from end to end. With real-time tracking, chain-of-custody visibility, and standardized workflows aligned to Joint Commission requirements, the organization gained better control, improved compliance, and stronger operational performance. The result: projected annual savings of $100,000, more reliable supply delivery, and more time for clinical teams to focus on patient care.
Canon Delivers Results That Matter
Enabling Healthcare Providers to Achieve Results That Make a Difference
“Healthcare organizations face many pressures such as controlling costs, enhancing information and data sharing, improving patient outcomes and streamlining materials distribution. We help clients solve these and other challenges so they can focus on delivering the highest quality patient care. For example, we enabled a hospital to decrease the time it takes to par, stock, pick and distribute medical supplies, while increasing inventory accuracy and reducing expired product risks. According to our client, these results make a difference on where they need to focus their attention.”
