For facilities that have signed kit or case pricing agreements with vendors, AMSHub offers the ability to track and optimize these contracts by monitoring utilization of kit/case price items and their associated quantities and reporting on what’s needed to complete as many kits as possible to maximize the value from these contracts. Learn more about kit usage reports.
Creating Kits
The first step is creating the kit/case agreement details in AMSHub. Go to Tools > Kit Builder and add a new kit. Select the vendor, enter a name and the kit cost. Next you’ll add a collection of Kit Items, which will hold one or more specific items that are noted in the agreement you’ve made with your vendor. For instance, you may have a contract with Abbott that includes Armada catheters. So you would create a Kit Item called Armada Catheters (or any name you’d like for easy reference) and then you’ll add all Armada catheters that qualify towards the quantity of Armada usage relative to your kit price agreement. Perhaps it’s all 014 or 018 sizes. You’ll click the Add Products button to search your inventory and check the box for each item that will qualify towards Armada usage in your kit. You’ll repeat this for each item in your kit by providing a Kit Item name, adding all specific items, and provide the quantity.
If you have multiple facilities using AMSHub, you can share Kits you’ve created with other facilities so they don’t have to be recreated. Use the share button, select the other facilities in your group, and AMSHub will copy the Kit details to the other facilities for use and tracking. Should you need to update a kit, make changes at one facility and share to the others to update them with any changes.
