Asset Management Software - Alex

The Central Processing Department of a hospital is a major business operation, supporting the hospital's primary income source - the operating rooms, while employing millions of dollars of inventory, and operating with a budget of several hundred thousand dollars per year. Business accepted wisdom indicates that the information needed to run this "business" is a corporate resource that should be formalized, automated, and leveraged to provide a uniformly high level of service and efficiency.

The surgical support staff is directly responsible for the processing and management of surgical instruments. By correctly processing instruments, keeping them in good working order and guaranteeing that the procedure trays arrive in surgery with the specified contents will establish accountability for the surgical support department. The Alextm Suite of Asset Management Software provides the central service and sterile processing department personnel with a professional management tool to better manage their surgical instrumentation resources.

The suite of Alextm software CSM, Pro, and Gold provides institutions with a fully scalable information system for managing surgical instrument assets. No matter which of the three Alextm systems a facility chooses to implement they are supplied with features far beyond the typical health care software systems that now exist. Specific needs can be addressed to best integrate with existing hospital information management systems (e.g. operating room scheduling, surgeon preference cards, sterilization units, etc.).

The Alextm software family is designed to give you a choice. Facilities may now choose the system that will best fit their instrument reprocessing needs both now and in the future. Alextm Gold features state-of-the-art web-based technology that provides institutions with a fully scalable information system for managing surgical instrument assets. Alexª Pro features instrument maintenance management and can speed up the sterile processing cycle along with improve the quality, accuracy, and completeness of every set delivered to the operating room.
