MUNDELEIN, Ill., April 26, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- To help health care facilities capture, analyze and better manage all of their expenditures, Medline Industries, Inc., launched Insight II, a powerful web-based data management tool. Insight II enables hospitals and health systems to view all of their purchases from every department on a macro level and then drill down to see details and identify trends on purchases.
Insight II is an online reporting tool which requires no additional software or hardware to capture and view the data. Users can utilize interactive dashboards and run reports, including total spend per month by facility, department, product category, vendor/supplier, yearly and monthly usage reports, and more.
"Insight II is a dynamic tool that provides facilities crucial purchasing data from every area of the hospital and from every supplier they work with, which will help them analyze trends and product usage to better manage their supply budgets," said Dave Rolston, vice president of e-business for Medline.
Insight II can also create customized reports and develop key metrics that are tailored to each area of the facility and display important information for different people within a facility. Insight II is compatible with most any data software system.
