Asset-management solutions utilizing data to drive decision-making could prove a winning strategy in reducing medical waste in healthcare and saving money.

As healthcare systems worldwide strive to optimize their operations, the issue of medical device sustainability and waste reduction has taken center stage. With U.S. hospitals reportedly losing multi-thousands of dollars on unused medical equipment, state-of-the-art inventory, and asset-management solutions are more pressing than ever. On average, hospitals generate 29 pounds of waste per bed daily and more than 5 million tons annually. A significant portion of this waste comes from unused medical supplies and equipment.

How can hospitals better manage their inventory, reduce waste, and save costs?

Welcome to I Don’t Care with Kevin Stevenson. In this episode, Stevenson welcomes guest Ashlea Souffrou, the Founder and President of SxanPro, a company dedicated to helping hospitals reduce waste and save money through innovative inventory management solutions.

In this episode, Stevenson and Souffrou discuss the following:

  • Souffrou’s journey from a sales division employee at Stryker to the founder of SxanPro
  • How SxanPro addresses the problem of medical waste in hospitals
  • An in-depth look at SxanPro’s innovative solutions: Judi, Sam, and Link
