Overview
With the advent of the Covid-19 came unprecedented demand worldwide for medical equipment and supplies. Hospitals were overwhelmed during the epidemic. In particular ventilators were in short supply and as the number of confirmed cases and hospitalizations increased. One region would have a shortage and another might have an excess. To solve this problem the Medical Equipment Tracking Database (METD for short) was created.
METD – This is an invaluable database for companies with a large inventory of medical equipment and medications. MEDT allows an organization with a large number of medical items (ventilators, personal protective equipment (PPE), medications, etc. to keep track of its inventory, to lend or rent, invoice, bar code, check in/out, perform accounting, track, bar code/QR code printing and scanning using blue tooth scanners and more.
This database allows a video equipment rental company to inventory, rent, invoice and track the equipment at all steps in the process. It allows doing the rentals faster, more consistently and efficiently.
With this database it is possible for the federal or state government to set up medical equipment warehouses to supply an entire state, region or country. For example pandemics can require huge numbers of ventilators. The demand comes in waves from different areas. Why have thousands of ventilators unsused ventilators housed in a hospital? Now track each medical item in and out, it’s location, who signed for it and at what time, what patient is using that machine. Share or rent the equipment, track it which it is out short and long term. Best of all, search and find any item fast. Instantly get reports. This is the medical equipment database for the medical industry.
The METD database is based on the popular, powerful, and easy to use Filemaker database for running on Mac, Win, iOS, Android as a client. Also for the Web when run from the Filemaker Server. Run from a server on the web to work on all devices. As you grow and your needs and assets grow, the database can grow. The system is totally expandable.
Most major rental database systems available take the “one system fits all” approach requiring customers to adapt their processes to the software. We have found that the different types of rental businesses often have their own unique business model.
Some areas of functionality that can vary dramatically include the quote creation process, inventory management, customer based inventory display and inventory scheduling.
MDID includes the ability to manage devices, locations, automatic generation of linked delivery work orders and invoices, integrated emailing of reminders and invoices, inventory management including flexible grouping of inventory items as well as integrated “missing and damaged” tracking and reporting.
the inventory management process including bar-coding of various types
the grouping and display of inventory images within the system

Customization is available at anytime during the life of the system for a reasonable charge.
