The College of Nursing and Health Innovation’s Smart Hospital is a large volume, academic simulation center that has been operating since 2007. We currently function out of two locations with 3 main supply rooms, 4 storage areas, and over 900 pieces of patient simulators, task trainers, equipment, and supplies. We manage all our inventory manually using excel spreadsheets, space allocations, and with a dedicated Inventory Specialist.
