Materiels are the lifeblood of the medical industry. Surgeons and support staff need the confidence that their supplies will be there when they're needed. At PHS, we are continually looking for methods and means of streamlining supply logistics, while maintaining exceptional quality standards.

We operate our own fleet of trucks - a PHS delivery driver is responsible for your shipment all the way to its designated delivery point, whether a receiving dock or a stock station on the hospital floor. In addition to friendly and personalized service, our drivers are in direct contact with dispatchers at our distribution centers to ensure timely response, when and where you need us.

Our warehouse and distribution staff works around the clock, to ensure you timely delivery of ordered product. Twenty-four hour turnaround is standard. Sophisticated computer systems, an expert Purchasing Department, and diligent Inventory Control personnel all work together to provide the highest fill rate in the industry.

Billing and payment options customized to your cash flow and accounting systems are welcomed. Convenient ordering, electronically through EDI, or Internet FTP, allows our customers to place orders and receive pricing and stock availability confirmation, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Faxed orders, and a friendly team of efficient Customer Service telephone representatives are available for your convenience.

PHS operations personnel are empowered to say Yes! to your supply requirements. We can initiate on-the-spot solutions without the aggravation of many policies. We run the system, the system doesn't run us. Regardless of the challenge, you will be talking to decision-makers that give you the answers you want to hear; Yes!

PHS has consistently demonstrated the ability to bring highly innovative and efficient solutions to our healthcare partners over a significant period of time. We take pride in our track record of providing Value-Added services and welcome the opportunity to collaborate with you to identify and implement the most progressive and effective programs available in our industry. As evidenced by our partnerships with highly qualified and diverse vendors, PHS is willing to explore virtually any solution that resolves your business and supply chain objectives.

Rather than offer generic programs that may be unresponsive to the specific requirements of the end user, we prefer to identify custom solutions that may require intensive research to select the most appropriate method of implementation and level of expertise. For example, our customized LUM programs significantly reduce ordering costs through the optimum utilization of a primary supply partner which reduces the number of purchase orders, minimum order quantities, and potential freight expenses incurred. LUM programs complement and enhance your supply chain process, enabling you to free up significant warehouse space that can potentially be used in a revenue-generating capacity. At your request we will assist you to develop protocols that identify and improve specific consumption analysis by department, thereby creating inventory cost reductions through streamlined efficiencies at par level locations. Additionally, we can address replenishment practices within the OR to identify and differentiate supply expenditures from clinical overhead. Whether we utilize internal resources, or elect to partner with a recognized leader in the industry, PHS will ensure that our flexible service approach is never compromised.

Our Supply Chain Solutions team consists of individuals with a wealth of in-hospital materiel management experience, who will work with you to design the most effective program for your needs. We are available to you on-site to help coordinate the standardization of services between facilities. At our off-site warehouse, through the use of our hand-held inventory units and picking carousels, we can process your orders fast, without sacrificing your quality initiatives. Our versatility, coupled with customized programs tailored to your individual needs, enables you to track true costs, freeing up space on your end for revenue-producing departments and services, thereby making better use of your FTE's.

As your hands-on partner, we can assist you with the variables and logistics required to keep your staff supplied with what they need, when they need it, as economically as possible.
