Collaboration will enhance existing QSight
capabilities and enable future platform and service innovations to
help optimize complex inventory management for hospitals and health
systems
Owens & Minor, Inc. today announced a new partnership with
Google Cloud that combines Owens & Minor’s deep expertise in
optimizing the healthcare supply chain with Google Cloud’s Vertex
AI platform to help drive meaningful enhancements for
QSight®, an industry-leading cloud-based clinical
inventory management system from Owens & Minor. By partnering
with Google Cloud, Owens & Minor will strengthen QSight’s
existing inventory management capabilities while laying the
foundation for future platform and service innovations with the
potential to dramatically improve the QSight customer
experience.
The partnership between Owens & Minor and Google Cloud will
focus on enhancing QSight’s ability to help hospitals and health
systems optimize how they manage the thousands of medical-grade
supplies, high-value surgical implants and human tissue products
required for patient care. For providers, the implications of
inefficient inventory management can reach beyond the stockroom and
into the operating room, including a risk that expired products are
used in patient care and inventory loss if products expire before
they can be used. Enterprise healthcare providers also face
increasing pressure to deliver high-quality care while managing
costs and optimizing efficiency — with less support from clinical
staff. However, traditional clinical inventory management systems
may lack the real-time visibility and predictive capabilities
needed to effectively oversee complex healthcare supply chains,
which can increase costs and lead to higher workloads for clinical
staff.
“We provide ongoing value to our customers and help drive
clinician efficiency in part by staying at the forefront of
technology, including via smart investments with one of the most
renowned innovators in the marketplace,” said Andy Long, EVP and
CEO, Products & Healthcare Services, Owens & Minor. “Our
partnership with Google Cloud to enhance QSight is just one example
of how Owens & Minor is making concrete progress towards the
strategic goals we’ve established for the Products & Healthcare
Services segment.”
“Owens & Minor is playing an important role in the
transformation of healthcare,” said Michael Clark, President, North
America, Google Cloud. “Many healthcare systems have not kept pace
with technological advancements, missing opportunities for improved
efficiencies and better patient care. This partnership will advance
Owens & Minor industry leading solutions a step further to help
its customers make more informed decisions and better navigate the
complexities of modern supply chain management, ultimately better
supporting the important end user — patients.”
