Use case: Multi-site systems

Every site. One standard.

Genesis gives multi-site trusts and healthcare groups one item master, one set of contract rules and one live view of stock and traceability, so a process proven at one site can be repeated at every other.

The clinical traceability platform behind NHS Scotland's national Scan for Safety programme, spanning 14 Health Boards.

The problem

Every new site adds another way of doing things

Growth through merger and acquisition brings scale, and it brings inconsistency. Each hospital arrives with its own ERP configuration, its own item master, its own contracts and its own way of recording what is used.

Standardising products and processes across sites is close to impossible when nobody can compare like with like.

Leadership wants system-level answers: what is held across the network, where spend is off contract, which sites are recall ready. Instead it gets a different number from every facility, assembled by hand and already out of date.

The case for Scan for Safety has never been hard to make. What has made the difference is the partnership. It has been open and collaborative from the start, and that is what good collaboration between a customer and a supplier should look like.

Onboarding a new site

16:30

Each site emails stock and spend reports in a different format. Combining them takes most of the morning.

Each site searches its own records. Some reply the same day, some days later, and nobody is sure the list is complete.

The value analysis committee wants to compare product use across hospitals. The data does not line up.

One hospital is short of a critical item while another holds months of supply. Nobody knows.

A newly acquired hospital means months of mapping a different ERP and item master.

One dashboard shows stock, spend and compliance across every site, on the same definitions.

One query across every site returns affected stock on shelves and devices already used, by patient.

One taxonomy across sites makes cost per case and product use directly comparable.

Cross-site visibility shows where stock sits, so it can be moved before an order is placed.

A repeatable framework brings the new site onto the same data model and workflows, one specialty at a time.

Solutions

How Genesis closes the gap

Scale only helps if it is consistent. That takes one data model underneath every site, and workflows you can repeat rather than reinvent.

01

One item master across every site

A continuously governed catalogue that absorbs disparate ERPs and item masters, so every facility orders, tracks and reports against the same items and codes.

Explore Genesis Data

01

One set of contract rules

Framework and local agreements in one repository, enforced at the point of order at every facility, with item-level visibility of which contract applies where.

Explore Genesis Sourcing

01

One live view of stock and traceability

Real-time inventory and point-of-use capture across every site, so an affected batch cannot quietly reappear somewhere else in the organisation.

01

One set of numbers for leadership

Executive and site-level dashboards on the same data model, with facility-level detail and system-level roll-up.

Common questions, answered directly

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Genesis integrates with each ERP and brings them under one governed item master, so sites can share a data model without a full ERP consolidation first.

A specialty-based rollout often works better. NHS Scotland chose to go specialty by specialty, concentrating on the highest-risk device areas and building a framework it could repeat.

Yes. Genesis supports facility-level configuration with organisational roll-up, so local needs are met while reporting stays consistent.

Yes. Allegheny Health Network runs Genesis across 14 hospitals plus acute and non-acute sites, and Northside runs it across six hospitals and more than 250 outpatient locations.

Multi-region organisations get a single coordinated account team, rather than a separate relationship for each geography.

It depends on scope and data readiness, so we scope it with you rather than quoting a standard number. As a marker of what is achievable, Allegheny Health Network brought 3,500 users live on Genesis in a single day.
