Mobile Inventory Implementation at The Hospital for Sick Children

Presented by:
Steve Fegaras, Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids)

Abstract:

The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), affiliated with the University of Toronto, is Canada’s most research-intensive hospital and the largest centre dedicated to improving children’s health in Canada. Sickkids recently completed its implementation of PeopleSoft Mobile Inventory. The impetus for this project was initially to replace an outdated 3rd party Par Inventory Management system, but the hospital has embraced virtually all of the functions available in Mobile Inventory including Receiving (PO and Ad Hoc), Delivery, Picking, and other transactions. Oracle has named Sickkids as a PeopleSoft Innovator as a result of this successful implementation. In this session, we will discuss how we managed this project, bringing internal IT staff, end users, and our implementation partner together in such a way as to help ensure project success. We will also show how we’ve extended the module using BI Publisher in both batch and real-time modes to generate various types of barcode labels needed to support mobile device scanning and replace centralized printing of documents with labels that print from mobile printers carried by Inventory staff. We will discuss our selection process for choosing a supplier of mobile computers and printers and how we overcame some of the challenges of properly configuring and maintaining them. Other PeopleSoft tools including Page and Field Configurator and Selective Adoption of new features have added to the end-user satisfaction of the final implementation of this module and to a successful rollout.

Presented by:

Abstract:

SMH has been live with project costing for 7 years.
