Asset check-in / check-out for hospitals

Hospitals share expensive, mobile equipment — infusion pumps, portable monitors, ultrasound units, wheelchairs — across departments and shifts, and when nobody records who took what, devices pile up in one ward while another goes without. Loan pools and biomedical libraries lose track of items out for service or on trial. Check-in/out gives clinical and biomedical teams a custody record: issue equipment to a department or staff member, set expected return, and see availability at a glance. For biomedical and ward managers, that means shared equipment is distributed fairly, loaned and trial devices are tracked, and nothing sits “missing” when it’s simply been checked out.
